Hi all,
As some of you might know from my earlier post/thread about atkbd and softraw,
I'm currently working on getting keyboards with internet/easy access keys to
work painlessly / plug and play.
In order to be able to better test / develop this I've bought 2 cheap such
keyboards today, one ps2 and one both usb and ps2 capable.
When comparing usb vs ps2 / testing the keycodes generated for the easy access
keys on my trust (microsoft compatible) keyboard. I noticed the search key
generated the linux/input keycode for find when connected through USB. This
lead me to check the consumer page mappings in hid-input.c . And it turns out
the the mapping for ID 0x221 deviates from the HUT standard document:
http://www.usb.org/developers/devclass_docs/Hut1_12.pdf
Currently it is incorrectly mapped to find, whereas it should be mapped to
search. I also added missing bindings for ID 0x21f, the real find and for
0x222, goto.
Regards,
Hans

BTW, Richard Hughes (CCed) is also trying to fix keyboard mappings (by
loading proper keymap into kernel with support of HAL).
