keymapping

[David Woodfall]

Hi, I have a usr9600 phone which acts as an extra keyboard and I'm
trying to map keys 1-0 to keypad 1-0:

         <append key="input.keymap.data" type="strlist">0x02:KP1</append>
         <append key="input.keymap.data" type="strlist">0x03:KP2</append>
         <append key="input.keymap.data" type="strlist">0x04:KP3</append>
         <append key="input.keymap.data" type="strlist">0x05:KP4</append>
         <append key="input.keymap.data" type="strlist">0x06:KP5</append>
         <append key="input.keymap.data" type="strlist">0x07:KP6</append>
         <append key="input.keymap.data" type="strlist">0x08:KP7</append>
         <append key="input.keymap.data" type="strlist">0x09:KP8</append>
         <append key="input.keymap.data" type="strlist">0x0a:KP9</append>
         <append key="input.keymap.data" type="strlist">0x0b:KP0</append>

lshal shows the mappings but they aren't working. I got the codes with
scankey -s and I've also tried using xev which show different
keycodes.

I've also tried <merge> instead of <append>

Any ideas why this isn't working?

It's because recent Xorg uses udev instead of hal for this.

Even the xorg in slack 13.1? (By the way xorg/hal does see the
keyboard and set layout etc. just not the maps)

Oh, yeah, still used hal in 13.1.  Not sure what's going on
there, and to be frank (and likely disappointing), I really
don't have much inclination to work on that since we're on
the verge of a new release (and hal is mostly dead anyway,
especially wrt xorg)...
