Hi, Historically our KEY_* definitions did not include defines for symbols like '@' because they do not have a dedicated key but rather being produced as a combination of a primary key + modifier; the mapping is done either in console driver or in X. Looking at the picture of the device that you provided it appears that your device does not have a dedicated '@' key so it should work in the same fashion as above.since we don't have X now. I google about this. I don't know how to modify the console driver. can you tell me which file I need look into? thanks. I found an another method. we use busybox in rootfs. the busybox have command [dumpkmap] [loadkmap] [showkey], ----------- in host system run : /usr/bin/dumpkeys > normal_keymap /usr/bin/loadkeys funky_mini_keyboard_keymap /usr/bin/busybox dumpkmap > funky_mini_keyboard_keymap.bin /usr/bin/loadkeys normal_keymap then in target system run "loadkmap funky_mini_keyboard_keymap.bin" ----------- in our device have a two special keys [RED UP POINT] keycode is 94 [QI] keycode is 93
can I modify this function matrix_keyboard.c:103 static void matrix_keypad_scan(struct work_struct *work) to detect the combination keys? like: 1. if press the compose keys [RED UP POINT] just record 2. if next press the 'w'. will report '@' to OS. if it's possible. how to report '@' to OS. I saw the source code is always report the keycode. thanks for help -- Xiangfu Liu Email: xiangfu at qi-hardware dot com Web: http://www.qi-hardware.com
