[Bug 400914] [NEW] Everex Stepnote XT5000T keymap

[jasmineaura]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: udev-extras

Release: Jaunty (9.04)
Package tested: udev-extras-20090602+1-2~jaunty1

Prior to installing udev-extras from Pitti PPA, this Laptop had a lot of
issues in terms of some unknown and some incorrect keymaps with hal,
although the Sound Up/Down/Mute and Suspend Fn keys worked out of the
box in both hal and udev-extras

Example snippet from syslog:

I followed the very helpful information in /usr/share/doc/udev-extras/README.keymap.txt to resolve these issues and to create a keymap for this lappy to solve all the problematic Fn Keys :)
By the way, there's a little typo in that README.keymap.txt: "cat cat /sys/class/dmi/id/product_name" <- cat twice

system vendor and product
------------------------------------
jas at jas-everex:~$ cat /sys/class/dmi/id/sys_vendor
Everex         
jas at jas-everex:~$ cat /sys/class/dmi/id/product_name
XT5000T 

Key mapping from step 3 (see attached everex-stepnote_xt5000t file)
