Hello

This is probably not related to TDE, but Linux in general (Debian 8?).

I have a multimedia PS/2 keyboard "BTC 9001A" (evtest reports it as

"AT Translated Set 2 keyboard") and I try to use all its keys. Some

are typical multimedia keys, while I program some other to launch

applications in my TDE using "Keyboard actions" panel.

Unfortunately not all keys are detected in OS by scancodes. Two

keys generate only a EV_MSC event, while not giving scancode.

Is it possible, by e.g. udev hwdb rule, to assign scancodes to these

events?

Here are results of evtest events test:

The keys pressed are: Return key released, A, then "Search" custom

key which works, then "Manual" and "Panel" keys (these two don't

work - no scancode), then ctrl-C to stop evtest.
