IBM/Lenovo ThinkPads

Bacon, my friend, once again you have provided the germ of the solution!

xmodmap -e "keycode 9 = Super_L"
xmodmap -e "keycode 66 = Escape"

Does the trick! Now I just need to config PekWM to tile similarly to openbox. . .

FWIW, keycode 156 is linked to the 'Access IBM' key, but although it remaps to Escape using the above method, it just doesn't want to map to Super_L . . . or the free blowjobs, for that matter. ;)


LinuxBBQ never ceases to amaze me. Thanks for all the help!

Mmmmm, chlamydia, a fantastic spin by Julius. Still have it on an old lappy to remind me of Sardinia :D

Kondor, intro please, before Rosie pops in :)

Kondor, y u no make intro thread!??!

[kondor]

Aw shyucks. I'm just a stupid noob around here -- I figured since this thread was in the /dev/null section I could say my hellos right here. Guess I'll go lurk a few intro threads to see what's appropriate.

[kondor]

For the benefit of T40 users who may find it useful:

xmodmap -e "keycode 9 = Super_L"
xmodmap -e "keycode 66 = Escape"

Does the trick!

After using this for a couple of days, it doesn't *quite* do the trick. Because with this setup, capslock does both capslock *and* escape. At the same time. (evilmode WTFs a-go-go)

so I recommend this instead:

Code: Select all

xmodmap -e "keycode 9 = Super_L"
setxkbmap -option caps:escape

So far, so good over here.

But for any keymapping wizards out there, I'd like to tug your sleeve for additional tips, especially for rassling the 'Access IBM' key into submission.

^ I can just add one thing: the Fn button is managed by the BIOS, no matter what xev says. Might be the same s(h)ituation for the Blue button too :/

[kondor]

That's a nice tidbit, Bacon, my man. I guess that means I'll never remap Fn to Ctrl . . .

Damn, this situation might make for a decent excuse to go full Stallman on the BIOS. :)

^ He has an X60, not sure if the FSF blob will run on a T4x :) Apparently, only on a T60: http://www.libreboot.org/docs/hcl/index.html

^ Yeah, but that one has a Super key, so, where's the challenge? ;)

[dkeg]

Picked up a couple X series. No test drive yet. Maybe tonight.

[dkeg]

fuck yeah, this thing is nice. Nothing installed yet, just running live Victory.

^ they are i7's ? O-o you lucky bugger !

[ivanovnegro]

Nice Dkeg.

[darry1966]

Very Nice.:)

[dkeg]

This thing is sweet. Need to look into fan control and/or cpufreq settings.

[wuxmedia]

what - you mean to say you're working that i7 too hard, with a BBQ spin...? c'mon dkeg :)
EDIT, ahh I read the thread where it's cool enough - but spins too much.
I recall dura mucking around with that, and powertop, doesn't thinkpad have a special program?

[dkeg]

It's actually just an i5 ... haha

I'm looking around. It shouldn't be in based on what I'm doing and the temp.
