From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

wrong assigned udev event (lemmy.ml)

4 comments fedilink hide all child comments

basically each of the following: fn+f2 or fn+f3 (not even being recognised by evtest ) and the lid being closed or opened is being reported as "Event: time 1692812642.988180, type 1 (EV_KEY), code 238 (KEY_WLAN), value 1".

so I though about remapping "Event: time 1692812642.988180, type 4 (EV_MSC), code 4 (MSC_SCAN), value d7" as the closing lid thingy

the same for fn+f2 and fn+f3 (increase and decrease brightness) I have to remap this "Event: time 1692812647.457821, type 4 (EV_MSC), code 4 (MSC_SCAN), value ab" so my question is I can remap the keyboard here 60-keyboard.hwdb but where can I remap the ev_msc stuff

basically all this to say I want to tell udev that the msc this with id d7 is actually the toggle for closing the lid and the msc thing with id ab are actually the two buttons that increase and decrease brightness and yeah that's all
