X.org server keyboard map for Dell Inspiron 1100

[xenblend]

Hi all,

I am having some trouble getting all of the keys to work properly in X11 on my Dell Inspiron 1100. Most specifically, I cannot get the up, down, left, right arrow keys to work, as well as PgUp and PgDown. Can anyone tell me what the Xkb options I need to add to xorg.conf to get the proper key map working? Alternatively, can anyone tell me how to re-map these keys to work? as well as how to identify the keycodes and/or scancodes that correspond to these keys?

Thanks for any help you can give me.

for keycodes, execute command 'xev' in konsole/terminal' and press keys to check their keycodes. you can re-map keys using command 'xmodmap'

xmodmap -e 'keycode <value>=<action>'

Thanks for the info! But a couple more questions now...

xmodmap -e 'keycode <value>=<action>'

How do I figure out the "value" and the name of an "action" for up, down, left, and right arrow keys? and PageUp and PageDown? Thanks again!

hi !

you can figure out keycodes using 'xev' command in terminal.

xev

press up, down and other keys one by one and note their keycodes.

in my machine keycode for 'up', 'down', 'left', 'right', 'PageUp' and 'PageDown' keys are 98,104,100,102, 99 and 105

xmodmap 'keycode 98=Up'
xmodmap 'keycode 104=Down'
xmodmap 'keycode 100=Left'
xmodmap 'keycode 102=Right'
xmodmap 'keycode 99=Prior'
xmodmap 'keycode 102=Next'

if this works, then save this code in file ~/.kde/env/keys.sh
