How to control MR led on G11 keyboard

Thu, 02/05/2009 - 15:30 — kubiack

Hello

I am the proud owner of a G11 keyboard (a G15v1 without LCD).
I am mainly interrested in the macro capabilities of this keyboard, thats why I use G15daemon and G15macro.

G15macro had some trouble with the G11, I have fixed nearly all of them (bad keycodes for Gxx and multimedia keys, 100%cpu usage ...)

I am attacking another problem : the MR led is always ON, and I don't find a way to control it.
G15macro use the following command to do so :
g15_send_cmd (g15screen_fd,G15DAEMON_MKEYLEDS, G15_LED_MR | mled_state);

But this doesn't work on my G11. I have modified it to test all values (1<<0 to 1<<8) and it doesn't change anything.

My question is : does G15daemon know how to control this led ??
All other leds (M1-3) are working.

Would also be good if you provided the correct keycodes, so that other G11 users do not need to face the same problem :)

Correct keycodes

Here are the G15 and G11 keycodes (extracted from my modified version of g15macro)

const int g15keycodes[] = { 177,152,190,208,129,130,231,209,210,136,220,143,246,251,137,138,133,183 };
const int g11keycodes[] = { 175,176,177,178,179,180,181,182,183,184,185,186,187,188,189,190,191,192 };
const int g15mmedia_codes[] = {164, 162, 144, 153, 174, 176};
const int g11mmedia_codes[] = {174, 172, 173, 171, 122, 123};

Re: How to control MR led on G11 keyboard

I don't have the code in front of me right now, but I believe g15daemon passes commands like that on to libg15, so if the g11 MR LED is not correctly handled libg15 is probably the culprit.
