Description Mohammed Adnène Trojette 2007-07-09 15:26:08 UTC

Here is a Debian bug report (#425655). Most of the request has already been addressed in the CVS. But some issues remain. Please could you tell me whether they are valid or not? Thanks in advance.

Subject: xkb-data: Media key symbols for Logitech UltraX keyboard
Date: Tue, 22 May 2007 19:46:01 -0600

[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

Package: xkb-data
Version: 0.9-4
Severity: minor
Tags: patch

Current xkb definition for "logiultrax" simply includes generic Logitech media keyboard setup. This results in 1) the key labelled "E-Mail" to be non-functional, 2) the rather minor error of the key labelled "WWW" set to XF86HomePage instead of XF86WWW.

I have included a patch which sets up this keyboard correctly.

A couple things to note:
a) The "E-Mail" key on this keyboard variously reports keycodes 120 and 236. I am not yet clear what causes this change. I've mapped both codes to XF86Mail.
b) I'm not sure why, but it still seems necessary to include the Logitech defaults first to get these keys initialized.
b) It seems possible there are a number of keyboards floating around branded as "Logitech Ultra-X". Mine is labelled:

I see your point regarding Email. But I do not really understand the difference between HomePage and WWW in this context. Could you please give a bit more details - why is it so essential for you? Anyway, shortcuts can be bound to any of these keysyms.

Bugzilla Upgrade Mass Bug Change

NEEDSINFO state was removed in Bugzilla 3.x, reopening any bugs previously listed as NEEDSINFO.

I guess logiultrax should work fine now, as specified in logitech_base section.
