Hi all, As I do not get replies to my forum post [1], I'll try asking this question here. Up until recently, I used to get the zoom slider on my Microsoft Natural Ergonomic Keyboard 4000 working by following the instructions in a Gentoo Wiki page [2]. In short, by applying a small patch [3] to my custom compiled (ZEN-)kernel the keycodes of the slider are changed to values below 255, enabling the X server to process those keycodes. Unfortunately, after a recent kernel update I get different keycodes, as if the patch isn't applied at all, although I can confirm that include/linux/input.h is still changed. My keycodes now read: $ showkey keycode 418 press keycode 418 release keycode 419 press keycode 419 release I flipped through latest kernel changes of 2.6.38.x [4] and 2.6.39.x [5] (that I currently use) but was not able to find a change that might have influenced the (translation of these) keycodes. Anyone here that has an idea what might cause this issue?
