- FRONT PANEL KEYS
(10:21:14 PM) moosylog: mythTV seems to uses Qt key constants,

- Please test
I don't have a Futaba device, so I can not test for you. Please test and report your findings.
You need to look at remap the key to a function mythfrontend understand !
Because I don't have the box, you need to test things for us.
- Create ~/.Xmodmap
create line
- keycode 162 = P
This example maps key 162 (think Audio Play) to mythTV function P (think play in mythfrontend)
Other keyvalues are described on the Futaba page.
- Test Results
(Feb 2008) KvZ: I've tested this idee and it works perfectly. I'm using a MSI Media Live with Mythbuntu.
My ~/.Xmodmap file:
keycode 162 = p keycode 164 = Escape keycode 144 = q keycode 153 = z keycode 152 = less keycode 180 = greater
Mythbuntu does not seem to use the user .Xmodmap. So I've just added the following line to the MythTV startup script.
/usr/X11R6/bin/xmodmap $HOME/.Xmodmap
Thanks moosylog KvZ
