I have bought a USB numeric keypad (meant for laptops) that I found cheap in a sale and I have rewired the buttons on the front panel of the video into a matrix and connected them in place of the numeric keypad (it is basically just a small usb module with a keypad membrane plugged into it). All seems to work: I get a new usb input device when I attach it and if I cat the relevant input device, I can see the keypresses. So far so good.
Great. I didn't think about those USB keyboards. I used a PS/2 keyboard controler connected to the internal PS/2 connector (leaving the real PS/2 port unusable).
I can see at least two options:
- Delete my remote.conf and program the 'keyboard' remote using the front
panel (I won't be able to use the proper keyboard to control vdr but I'm sure I can cope with that!).
I would go for that one. Maybe you also have the possibility to modify the mapping from scan codes (returned by the USB device) to key codes, thus decoupling the PS/2 keyboard keycodes and the USB keypad codes... This is possible with the PS/2 keyboard driver.
