According to "dumpkeys" (with my remote), it sends the following jumble
(probably with the intention that nobody would normally map something
quite so esoteric):
 Ctrl-Alt-Shift-F6

(the ctrl, alt and shift buttons are all on the left-hand side of the
keyboard ... the right-hand ones give different keycodes). X doesn't
actually do anything with this, and nor does the window-manager (but I'm
just using fvwm).

I'd be interested to see if others get different output (and to confirm
what remote used).

dumpkeys shows a keycode for press and one for release. These are the
keycodes for the power-button (first 4 are on press, last 4 on release):

0x1d 0x2a 0x38 0x40 0x9d 0xaa 0xb8 0xc0

As a side-note, does anyone know where I could submit the keycodes (or
whatever) that is more likely to be seen than my wiki? I doubt lirc
bothers with HID-compliant remotes.

Cheers


Ivan
