KP_Space as kbmap0 gives unexpected X error: BadValue #110

Closed mw75 closed 4 months ago

mw75 commented 4 months ago

I'm running the latest version of spacenavd with X11 and libXTEST with a spacepilot. I would like to map KP_Space to to button 1 - index 0. Unfortunately this throws an error and the keystroke is not emitted. I already tried to fallback to XSendEvent, but that also did not work.

Running in foreground i get: Spacenav daemon v1.3-1-gc6f8a6b reading config file: /etc/spnavrc Device detection, parsing /proc/bus/input/devices found usb device [46d:c625]: "3Dconnexion SpacePilot" (/dev/input/event8) adding device (id: 0). device name: 3Dconnexion SpacePilot Number of axes: 6 (0a 6r) Number of buttons: 21 (evdev offset: 256) using device: 3Dconnexion SpacePilot (/dev/input/event8) device flags: swap y-z invert y-z trying to open X11 display ":0" XAUTHORITY=/home/mw75/.Xauthority Using XTEST to send key events unhandled event: 17 unhandled event: 17 mapping ``KP_Space'' to keysym 65408 Caught unexpected X error: BadValue (integer parameter out of range for operation) [op: 132,2, res: 0] Caught unexpected X error: BadValue (integer parameter out of range for operation) [op: 132,2, res: 0]

KP_Delete on kbmap1 and everything else works fine!

PS: is it possible to control the LCD somehow?

KP_Space (keysym 65408 or ff80h) is not space, it's "keypad space" which probably doesn't exist on your keyboard layout, and the X server treats it as invalid. Try mapping "space" instead, which is keysym 32 (20h).

I'll assume that was the problem, and close the issue. Feel free to reopen if turns out it's not, and it is a bug in spacenavd after all.
