Description Sergey Vlasov 2005-08-28 10:03:30 UTC
The "btc9000a" key definition in /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xkb/symbols/inet is wrong -
the keys really output different codes.  The bug is present both in
xorg-x11-6.8.2 and in the latest version at
http://cvs.freedesktop.org/xlibs/xkbdesc/symbols/inet?rev=1.11&view=markup .

This is the working definition (if a 2.6.x kernel is used, the atkbd.softraw=0
boot parameter is required, otherwise the Help, XF86Start and XF86Eject keys
don't work):

partial alphanumeric_keys
xkb_symbols "btc9000a" {
    name[Group1]= "BTC 9000A";

    key <I5E>   {       [ XF86PowerOff          ]       };
    key <I5F>   {       [ XF86Standby           ]       };
    key <I63>   {       [ XF86WakeUp            ]       };
    key <I25>	{	[ Help			]	};

    key <I66>   {       [ XF86Favorites         ]       };
    key <I32>   {       [ XF86WWW               ]       };
    key <I65>   {       [ XF86Search            ]       };
    key <I26>   {       [ XF86Start             ]       };

    key <I30>   {       [ XF86AudioRaiseVolume  ]       };
    key <I2E>   {       [ XF86AudioLowerVolume  ]       };
    key <I20>   {       [ XF86AudioMute         ]       };

    key <I22>   {       [ XF86AudioPlay, XF86AudioPause ] };
    key <I10>   {       [ XF86AudioPrev         ]       };
    key <I19>   {       [ XF86AudioNext         ]       };
    key <I24>   {       [ XF86AudioStop         ]       };
    key <I33>   {       [ XF86Eject             ]       };
};

BTW, the codes are the same as in the "btc5090" definition, except the Help key,
which is not present in btc5090.

Sergey, your description is VERY similar to BTC5090, as it is in the database
now. Could you please check whether they are same or not (the only difference I
see is "Help" key). Also, I just wonder - is the current btc9000a description
suitable for any keyboard? I have doubts it appeared just out of the blue,
probably there was some reason (which I'd be happy to find). Could you guess any?

Bugzilla Upgrade Mass Bug Change

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