By means of the Asus Hotkeys project and this this keyboard definition file I created for Hotkeys, I almost got my new laptop’s keyboard to fully work.

The only thing that still doesn’t work is the touchpad enable/disable key and the sleep key, the problem being those keys do not trigger an X event (at least, not one I could view with xev).

I will try to merge my keyboard definition file for Hotkeys with the Asus Hotkeys project in the following days, as it will be a cleaner and more elegant solution.

By the way, the Z92K is sometimes referred as A6K or A6000 and it works great with Linux. I am running KUbuntu 5.10 on it since the beginning of November and I couldn’t be happier.

Update: Here is the script I installed in /etc/init.d for Hotkeys to start at boot. Copy it to /etc/init.d then run update-rc.d hotkeys defaults as root.
