2.6 and panel buttons

Thread Starter 
I am running kernel 2.6 test 4 on an 8890 clone and I noticed that the buttons on the front panel have stopped working. Previously, ACME would receive signals from these buttons for changing cd tracks and adjusting volume, like it was a keyboard extension. In 2.6 it appears this has been moved to an event interface and I can't get any of the event devices detected to show any data from those front panel buttons. Anyone had any success?

Lineakd? Never tried it. Guess it is worth a shot!

Tried it and still no luck. What options do you have set in your kernel xiph? Xev doesn't even show anything happening when I press the front panel button. I only have 3 event interfaces showing in /dev/input.

i don't think i have anything out of the ordinary set...


#
# Input Device Drivers
#
CONFIG_INPUT_KEYBOARD=y
CONFIG_KEYBOARD_ATKBD=y
# CONFIG_KEYBOARD_SUNKBD is not set
# CONFIG_KEYBOARD_XTKBD is not set
# CONFIG_KEYBOARD_NEWTON is not set
CONFIG_INPUT_MOUSE=y
CONFIG_MOUSE_PS2=y
CONFIG_MOUSE_PS2_SYNAPTICS=y
# CONFIG_MOUSE_SERIAL is not set
# CONFIG_INPUT_JOYSTICK is not set
# CONFIG_INPUT_TOUCHSCREEN is not set
# CONFIG_INPUT_MISC is not set

i don't think mine works on an event interface; the xevents seem to be detected exactly the same as they were in 2.4.

Still no luck. I even tried it without the event interface and got nothing. I dunno.

Here's a thought. Are you using the 101 keyboard in your XF86Config file, or another? I may have screwed it up in the fglxconfig and am just noticing it.

Synaptics

Xiphus : I have no such thing as CONFIG_MOUSE_PS2_SYNAPTIC in my 2.6.0-test5 config. Did you patch it ?

Thanks.

Still no go with 2.6.0-test5. Guess I'll try the mm sources next.

2.6.0-test5

Well everything is fixed and now works in test5. Never needed the mm patches as the touchpad works perfect now. I use the extra keyboad buttons as numlock and capslock throught xmodmap, my actual real 'Caps Lock' being a xtra TAB key.

Managed after 3 days of fooling around 2.6.0-test5 to built it with icc ( Intel C++ Compiler ). I used the following CFLAGS="-march=pentium4 -ipo -tdd7 -xW".

Kernel is way faster and really uses the pentium4 architecture much better, unfortunately, breaks lots of things ( apps ) . I since then reverted to a 3.3.2 gcc built one.

X will be interesting to try to build with icc as well as the radeon DRI driver.

Linux version 2.6.0-test5 (root@screamer) (Intel(R) C++ Compiler for 32-bit applications, Version 7.1 Build 20030307Z) #3 Sat Sep 13 21:25:22 CEST 2003

Please coment.
