Re: [PATCH] kbdmux(4) update

Ulrich,

while i'm here, could someone please review the following patch for ukbd(4). this patch makes ukbd(4) to not delay break scancodes in "raw" mode.

How exactly could this manifest itself? I do have some troubles with a

it should not manifest itself if only one keyboard is used. the typical case looks like this

"keypad-enter" is pressed and the following scancodes are sent

e0 1c e0
^prefix
^make code
^prefix

as you can see there is no "break" code. "enter" key is pressed and the following scancodes are sent

9c 1c 9c
^break code
^make code
^delayed break code

as you can see, 0x9c is the "delayed" break code for "keypad-enter"

after ukbd(4) patch, the sequence would be

e0 1c e0 9c -- keypad-enter
1c 9c -- enter

SUN Type5 keyboard attached via SUN->USB adapter, and I blame the USB
stack for now. Might this lead to different scan codes "getting
through"?

i'm not sure. imo, its not likely when only one keyboard is used. you could try the patch and see if it fixes your problem. this patch should not change anything else and it is pretty safe to try.

thanks,
max
