| Nov 27, 2014 at 16:30 | comment | added | Aquarius Power | interesting, I had none of these applications hehe! so it did work for you right? mind pasting the code? btw, at evtest the value for my keypad "." shows as 70085. I tried with this: KEYBOARD_KEY_70085=36, KEYBOARD_KEY_70085=7002c (7002c is the code of space bar btw); I tried with 1 space, 2 spaces and a TAB before that line at configuration file, none worked, may be I am still missing the right way to configure/type it? it show no error messages either.. | |
| Nov 26, 2014 at 14:28 | comment | added | vinc17 | The evtest utility should also give you the correct scancodes: after typing a key, you should get 2 lines and the first one should end with something of the form code 4 (MSC_SCAN), value xxx, where xxx is the scancode. But the driver for my keyboard is buggy, and I don't get this MSC_SCAN line for some keys I wanted to remap. That's why I used input-kbd, which lists all the scancodes for the selected device. | |
| Nov 26, 2014 at 14:17 | comment | added | vinc17 | My problem was due to the fact that the KEYBOARD_KEY_ lines started with 2 spaces instead of a single one (this wasn't documented and I got no error messages!). I don't know for you, but with my USB keyboard, showkey --scancodes doesn't give the scancodes udev expects (the values are different); the input-kbd utility gives the correct scancodes. | |

| Nov 21, 2014 at 16:02 | comment | added | vinc17 | The updated file should be /etc/udev/hwdb.bin, not /lib/udev/hwdb.bin. But though this file is updated correctly, this doesn't work for me either, even after a reboot. Perhaps something missing in the documentation.
