So I've got this really very nice KB with integrated USB hub, 11 extra keys down the left side (think XT F-keys style) 3 audio keys (vol +/-/mute) and a sleep key...
Of all those extra keys the only one that produces a keycode is the sleep key, and it's not even the standard keycode that Windows expects for that key. That much I can fix... What I need to know is how to get the other pile of keys working. What's the point in having all those wonderful extra keys if I can't get them to do anything?
It's possible to get the keyboard 100% in linux, and it doesn't require a special driver, just a change to the range of keycodes that are accepted as valid... How do I do that with Windows? I am running XP Pro sp2 32-bit. It recognizes that the keyboard is a Sun keyboard, but installs the default MS HID keyboard driver. I've tried a number of other drivers and there's no change to what keys work. Sun doesn't produce a windows driver for the keyboard (that I've been able to find).
Anyone have a suggestion?
