Creative desktop wireless 8000 keymapping

! xmodmap for Creative Desktop Wireless 8000. If your modmap
! complains about two last lines either remove them or remap
! yourself. The wheel on left ! side of the keymap returns
! cursor up/down keys. Unfortunately two buttons below the
! wheel return no code at all, so are quite useless.

keycode 122 = XF86Search
keycode 130 = XF86HomePage
keycode 144 = XF86AudioPrev

Configuring keyboards

==Enabling Keyboard Multimedia Keys==
Exactly how this is done depends upon which desktop manager you are using, a quick guide below for the common environments.

===General Instructions===
If your keyboard isn't supported you will need to make a custom keymap (xmodmap) that should be loaded each time X starts. Here's how you do it.
* Open a terminal while you are int X and start xev (a window will popup with the title "Event tester")
Place you cursor on the window 
Now when you type letters on your keyboard information about those key presses will be displayed in the terminal. Here's an example of what it prints out for me when I hit Page Up:
<code>
KeyPress event, serial 28, synthetic NO, window 0x3400001,
root 0x38, subw 0x0, time 636222625, (124,70), root:(1225,548),
state 0x10, keycode 99 (keysym 0xff55, Prior), same_screen YES,
XLookupString gives 0 bytes: ""
</code>
As you can see the key next has the keycode 99 and the symbol Prior. What you should do now is press your multimedia keys. Note that if your keyboard is unconfigured it will say "No Symbol". Now look what keycode it says for each multimedia key you press. As an example my "Labtec Internet keyboard" has a key labeld with a stop symbol and the output for it is:
<code>
KeyRelease event, serial 28, synthetic NO, window 0x3400001,
root 0x38, subw 0x0, time 636666629, (158,102), root:(832,903),
state 0x10, keycode 164 (keysym 0x0, NoSymbol), same_screen YES,
XLookupString gives 0 bytes: ""
</code>
So I write on a piece of paper 
Stop = 164 
Do this for each of your keyboards multimedia keys. When you are done you can close the Event Tester. 
*Select names symbols (names) for your keys
You have to chose symbols for your keys from [[XF86_keyboard_symbols|this list]].
* Write <code>[[xmodmap]] -pke > xmodmap.conf</code> 
This will output your current keymap to a file called xmodmap.conf so that we can add symbols to those keycodes. Open that file with your favorite editor:
* [[nano]] -w xmodmap.conf
Now find the keycodes of your mulimedia keys and write the appropriate symbol after it.
So for my stop key I chose the symbol XF86AudioStop wich will look like this 
keycode 164 = XF86AudioStop 
When you are done remember to SAVE THE FILE!
* To have your new keymap loaded every time X starts do<code>echo 'xmodmap xmodmap.conf' >> ~/.[[xinitrc]]</code>
* Load your xmodmap by commanding <code>xmodmap xmodmap.conf</code> (or you can just restart X) 
Users can send their keyboard's keycode symbol mappings to [[Keyboard_mapping_list|this list]]. Take a look if you're looking for ready-to-use map for your keymap.

===Gnome===
# Download and install acme (source available [http://ftp.acc.umu.se/pub/gnome/sources/acme/2.4/ here] from Gnome.org ftp site]. this software enables gnome to interpret keyboard multimedia keys.
# After rebooting, open the Gnome Control Centre.
# Open the "Multimedia Keys" icon.
# The dialog you are presented with allows you to configure which key on your keyboard does what. Go through the list selecting the relevant key on your keyboard.
# Now enable the Multimedia keys by clicking "Launch the Multimedia Key Daemon"

To enable the keys on every boot acme must be added to your profiles startup programs. Thi can be done by returning to control centre => Advanced=>Sessions, select the Startup Programs tab, click add and enter "acme".
