mx keys have the same functionality as media keys (ubuntu) #29

Closed Qwertie- closed 9 years ago

Qwertie- commented 9 years ago

The mx keys on the left have the same functionality as the media keys on the right which means I cant remap them because the os sees them as the media keys which are already mapped.

Have you installed hwdb file which assigns unique IDs to each of the keys?

Zimmux commented 9 years ago

We should really mention the hwdb file in the installation guide.

Qwertie- commented 9 years ago

@tuxmark5 I have not. Could you tell me how?

tuxmark5 commented 9 years ago

Copy "config/90-apex.hwdb" to "/etc/udev/hwdb.d/90-apex.hwdb" and reboot your computer.

Qwertie- commented 9 years ago

That has mostly fixed it but now mx9 is "(" and mx10 is ")"

Also copy "config/Xmodmap" to ~/.Xmodmap and make sure that it is loaded when your session starts.

Qwertie- commented 9 years ago

I copied the file but how do I get it to load when the session starts?

tuxmark5 commented 9 years ago

The file can be loaded manually using "xmodmap ~/.Xmodmap", but most DEs should do this automatically.

Qwertie- commented 9 years ago

Ah that did it. Thanks a lot for making this tool so I can finally make the most of my keyboard :D

tuxmark5 commented 9 years ago

@Zimmux Yes. We really need some FAQ or hwdb/Xmodmap entry in the README.

@Qwertie- You're welcome :)

I am having a similar issue however on Xubuntu. I have installed the system wide depends, however I am not able to install the cabal depends.

xubuntu@xubuntu:~/git/ApexCtl$ make
cabal configure

Any ideas?

Thanks

Looks like you missed the cabal update step. Try the following:

cabal update
cabal install usb-1.2.0.1 cmdargs
make

Edit: whoops, my bad :(. Missed it in your log. I'm getting a similar issue, for which I've opened #30.
