<P><FONT COLOR="#0000FF" SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">Hi</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT COLOR="#0000FF" SIZE=2 FACE="Arial"> I am trying to map some HotKeys into specific actions for Dell Mobile Precision systems. I have been able to do so quite easily for the text console but having problem with key mapping in Xwindows.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT COLOR="#0000FF" SIZE=2 FACE="Arial"> I am not very familiar with Xwindows code so pls help me out…</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT COLOR="#0000FF" SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">Here's what I got:</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT COLOR="#0000FF" SIZE=2 FACE="Arial"> kernel 2.6.18</FONT>
<BR><FONT COLOR="#0000FF" SIZE=2 FACE="Arial"> Fedora Core 5 </FONT>
<BR><FONT COLOR="#0000FF" SIZE=2 FACE="Arial"> xorg-x11-server-Xorg-1.0.1-8</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT COLOR="#0000FF" SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">For example:</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT COLOR="#0000FF" SIZE=2 FACE="Arial"> I would like to map Fn+F1 to "hibernate"</FONT>
<BR><FONT COLOR="#0000FF" SIZE=2 FACE="Arial"> From text console with 'showkey -s' , I find pressing Fn+F1 generates e00a. So it's quite from there to map it to any action.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT COLOR="#0000FF" SIZE=2 FACE="Arial"> But the problem is, when I fire up xserver and run 'xev'. If I press Fn+F1, nothing shows up in the screen to tell me about any Xkeycode/keysym that is generated.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT COLOR="#0000FF" SIZE=2 FACE="Arial"> This tells me that the problem might be in mapping scancode --> Xkeycode in the xf86PostKbdEvent() function in hw/xfree86/common/xf86Events.c</FONT></P>
<P><FONT COLOR="#0000FF" SIZE=2 FACE="Arial"> Is this the right way to fix it? If not what path should I take?</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT COLOR="#0000FF" SIZE=2 FACE="Arial"> Any pointers/suggestions are welcome. I am willing to do any coding to get it fixed.</FONT>
</P>
