[maemo-developers] freedom mini keyboard and N800

[From: Klaus Rotter]

Hi there,

I bought a freedom mini bt keyboard and paired it with my N800. It seems 
to work (I am able to type text) but I have some issues.

Mainly, it has to to with the Num/123 key. The key is located on the 
lower left part of the keyboard and it is used to switch between normal 
letters and digits/signs.

Inside a opera web page everything works as expected, but outside every 
time I hit the num key a menu is displayed. It seems that the num key 
emits the MENU keycode, and all gtk textfields try to display a menu. I 
dug a little inside /usr/share/X11/xkb and I think it's because the menu 
key is a synonym for the compose key.

I modified /usr/share/X11/xkb/keycodes/xfree86 and commended out the 
line '<MENU> = 117' (exactly I put '//' before it).

But I want to do it a more clean way. I am looking for the hardware 
keyboard definition files, which one can select using "control panel" -> 
"hardware keyboard", because I want to create a freedom mini keyboard 
profile (there are more things missing, e.g. the Alt-Gr keys don't work 
right). Where can I find them?

Cheers, -Klaus
