Keyboard Ghost Inputs With Multimedia Keys

Unread post by janderclander14 »

Hi,

I have a keyboard with some dedicated multimedia keys. They are extra keys, not keys binded to regular keys via Fn. The fact is that, whenever I connect it to MiSTer, I can see a continous ghost inputs in the linux console (or any other script that uses the console, such as updateAll) like this: ^@^@^@......

The moment I press one of the dedicated multimedia keys (which work fine, by the way), the ghost inputs disapear. Does anybody knows whether there is any linux-related configuration that may be related with this. The keyboard uses a standard US layout.

On the other hand, a minor issue is that the keyboard status leds (caps lock, bloq num, etc.) neither work in the MiSTer menu nor in any of the cores that use the keyboard (such as computer ones). However, the leds work as soon as I access to the linux console via F9.

Thanks!
