Hi,
On my Acer TravelMate 6465WLMi laptop I have F15 x86_64 installed and updated. On the laptop there are two keys that don't do anything: one with the $ sign and another with the Euro sign (note: these are not the "4" key which has the "$" above the "4" or the "5"" key which has the Euro sign at the right of the "5" key). xev does not show anything when either key is pressed. At the time of F11 or F12 I could fix this by getting the keycode from xev and using setkeycode. But since xev does not register a keypress when either key is pressed this is not possible. Does anyone have an idea how I can make these keys work?
Thanks! Patrick

Well, if you think that's a bug, report it and fix it like you did in the Fedora 12 release Regards
Thanks! Patrick

I'm not sure if it's a bug. On F11 or F12 (iirc) these quirks were included by Richard Hughes but they no longer work. I'll do some more digging before I report a bug.

There used to be something about atkbd messages in /var/log/messages, but I believe that is only for the old PS/2 keyboards and not USB keyboards. I don't know what built-in laptop keyboards are classed as.
Keep us posted. I wanna know, too!
