#29 openSUSE 11.2 and keytouch ist not working together

[Anonymous]

Hi,
I can't use keytouch with openSUSE 11.2 64Bit and the packman repository with keytouch 2.4.1-0.pm.6.1
The keytouch-init script is running but no special key is working.
With openSUSE 11.1 all was working fine.

Hope you can help!

I am using OS11.2 x64 and I managed to get keytouch to work (at least partially). Here's what I did:

*Keyboard*
Changing xorg keyboard does not work by default. For it to work the following section needs to be added to xorg.conf:

Section "ServerFlags"
# Uncomment the following option to reenable
# kbd/mouse driver sections.
# Otherwise evdev driver is used.
Option "AutoAddDevices" "off"
EndSection

Set keyboard to standard:

Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Keyboard[0]"
Driver "kbd"
Option "Protocol" "Standard"
Option "XkbLayout" "us"
Option "XkbVariant" "alt-intl"
Option "XkbModel" "pc104"
Option "XkbRules" "xfree86"
EndSection

and add:

InputDevice "Keyboard[0]" "CoreKeyboard"

to section "ServerLayout".

Make sure that:

Configure Desktop > Regional & Language > Keyboard Layout is set to "Disable Keyboard Layouts".

*KeyTouch*
Get keytouch from Packman

Go to:
Administrator Settings > System > System Services
and set keytouch-init to "Yes"

Configure Keytouch. Install keytouch-editor from Packman if necessary.

Right now the amixer plugin is not working. Mute and volume controls do not work. There is a separate bug report here already for it.
