I just got two way cool wireless keyboards, the PC Concepts Surfboard (actually, I bought them at different times, and the same board was also labelled the MicroStealth). Anyway, it's one of those that has a whole bunch of extra keys/buttons. I'd like to see if I can get them to work, but the only thing I could think to try was 'xev', which shows nothing for those keys. Anybody have any ideas on how to go about this? I'm a decent C programmer, but have never actually hacked on my kernel, other than nontrivial things like changing the mouse IRQ. Description: It's a wireless keyboard (with *really* nice key action - I type fast and don't like ye olde IBM clickety-clacks) with an integrated mouse stick and split wire with a PS/2 mouse connector and a DB9 serial connector (although the dox mention a model w/ two PS/2 connectors, I haven't been able to locate one). Of course, it comes with Win95 drivers. I'm about to try getting the mouse working with XInput extensions. What I'm afraid of is that the extra keys are passing signals through the serial connector instead of the keyboard connector, but the existence of a 2 PS/2 connector points away from that ... Sorry, I'm rambling.
