Title: [Solved] Buttons 0 - 9 don't work - Linux
Post by: Spectre on February 28, 2009, 03:23:18 pm

I have a problem with buttons 0 - 9 in tremulous. They don't work... My binds are correctly written in autogen.cfg but buttons don't work...
They work only if I edit /etc/X11/xorg.conf. But it's not a good change, because after reboot I have warning dialog for that and keyboard layouts cannot be switched.

My default xorg.conf:

Code: [Select]

Section "InputDevice"
        Identifier  "Generic Keyboard"
        Driver      "kbd"
        Option      "XkbRules" "xorg"
        Option      "XkbModel" "pc105"
        Option      "XkbLayout" "us"
EndSection

And if I change to ->

Code: [Select]

Option      "XkbRules" "microsoft"

Then it works.... Other people that use linux don't know this problem.

Because you have a Microsoft keyboard. What's your issue? It's called settings, you set them correctly. Try running xorgconfig or similar application.

I should add, I tried to set up model of keyboard Microsoft office, etc, etc..... and still didn't work...

I should add, you should follow my instructions and run xorgconfig as root, without X running..

This is my section:

Code: [Select]

Section "InputDevice"
    Identifier     "Keyboard[0]"
    Driver         "kbd"
    Option         "Protocol" "Standard"
    Option         "XkbLayout" "de"
    Option         "XkbModel" "microsoftpro"
    Option         "XkbRules" "xfree86"
    Option         "XkbVariant" "nodeadkeys"
EndSection

Ignore the german layout and nodeadkeys settings.

Also, you don't need a Microsoft keyboard to use that layout.

Bissig: It still doesn't work even when I tried your setting and deleted mine  :'(

Archangel: how? I tried: xorgconf, xorgcfg, Xorg --configure and nothing launches...

I'm guessing you mean the numpad keys? Because I find it hard to believe the regular 0-9 keys don't work.

I don't even have an XkbRules line in my xorg.conf and I don't have any issues.

If you run xev and press 0 on the numpad, you should get a few lines, among which one like this:

Code: [Select]

state 0x0, keycode 90 (keysym 0xff9e, KP_Insert), same_screen YES,
Do you get something similar (KP_Insert)?

I pressed num 0 and my output is:

Code: [Select]

KeyRelease event, serial 33, synthetic NO, window 0x3600001,
    root 0xb3, subw 0x0, time 224315, (167,-10), root:(171,12),
    state 0x2010, keycode 90 (keysym 0xffb0, KP_0), same_screen YES,
    XLookupString gives 1 bytes: (30) "0"
    XFilterEvent returns: False

I tried binds on numpad buttons but the same problem :-/ (I hope numpad buttons are /bind 0 say hi too)
And BTW on windows normal 0 - 9 work fine...

If numlock is on, then its bind 0.  If numlock is off, then its bind KP_0 etc.

Would you mind posting all of your xorg.conf?

Also: Do the buttons 0-9 work in chat?

In console and in (T - say, Y - teamsay) buttons work...

You have to bind whatever else is on the key, not the number.

So, 0 would be KP_ins, 1 would be kp_end, 2 would be kp_downarrow, etc.
The exception to this rule is 5, which is kp_5.

As for your issue that the number keys only work in console/chat, I have no clue.
Are you sure you're binding them correctly?
Try

Code: [Select]

/bind 1 echo "Hey nub, I work"
It's always good to rule out misbinding first, before you blame your config.

Hope you can get that working,
Whales

Great, if I bind KP_ins and such then it works! But I'm still a little confused why normal 0 - 9 don't work  ???

Title: Re: Buttons 0 - 9 don't work - Linux
Post by: Archangel on March 03, 2009, 12:29:18 am

Be more specific. Top of the keyboard numbers? Or keypad with numlock on?

Well Spectre, time to post your binds *g*

I meant numbers on top don't work...

But I had the last idea -> try XFCE... when I installed it, both numbers work.
But in gnome don't.  I didn't try KDE, because it's too big for download.

Installed kde-base -> both buttons work too.... numpad and top numbers  ;D

Post by: Archangel on March 03, 2009, 05:07:01 pm

If you oh-so-cannot live without Gnome, use XFCE. It's similar enough, you won't be totally lost (if you are a nub)

It probably has to do with the keyboard configuration under Gnome. When you have the time, and if you want to keep using Gnome, try tinkering with stuff under Sytem/Preferences/Keyboard from the top menu (that's Keyboard, not Keyboard Shortcuts). It usually has to do with the keyboard layout or other special tweaks. Being a Microsoft keyboard may have something to do with it, if it's also a multimedia keyboard (and they usually are).

I gave it many hours of searching, trying anything... I won't any more.

Thank you everyone for help  ;)

So, Gnome even fails at keyboards... fail.
