Hardware - Laptop touchpad and Fn buttons ChronoStriker1 - 03.07.2006, 05:59 Uhr Titel: Laptop touchpad and Fn buttons
I just got a new laptop (averatec av1050-eb1) and kanotix runs awsome on it. Im just having a few issues that Id like to fix.
Ist I have an elantech touchpad and I cant find any info to configure it
I have no idea how to get the Fn buttons to work (mainly the volume buttons)
And last how do I have the system go into suspend when the lid is shut. Right now the monitor shuts off but the system stays on.
Thanks

First thing to try is KDE:
Open Control Center
Regional & Accessibility>Keyboard Layout>Mark box for Enable Keyboard Layouts>Select Laptop/notebook Compaq Armada
If that doesn't work you will need to use xmodmap:
Example from compaq v2310ca presario. You have to use xmodmap to map these buttons to functions. The first thing to do is open a console and use xev in order to determine the key codes that these buttons generate. Compaq mute is 160, volume up is 176 and volume down is 174. Once you know what your keycodes are you can create a file like the one below that specifies the xmodmap settings. I keep this file called .Xmodmap in my home directory. Just replace these keycodes with the ones you determine with the xev tool. To test the .Xmodmap file just type xmodmap ~path/.Xmodmap. Your volume buttons should then work. If they work then you can launch the .Xmodmap file on startup via a script in your /.kde/Autostart/ directory.
