Keyboard with scroll, how to make it work?

Hello, I bought a keyboard which has a scroll just like the mouse, but it didn't work out of the box, as I expected, I did some research on it but I got no success. I've tried some keysyms such as XF86ScrollDown, XF86ScrollUp, Scroll_Down, Scroll_Up, MWheelup and MWheeldown but I got no success. Setting it as Up and Down does something close to scrolling but it just do that when there isn't a character cursor, any ideas?

What I did was to find the keycodes of the keyboard's scroll wheel using xev, than created xmod file using
xmodmap -pke > ~/.xmod
after that I opened the file and searched the keycodes I had found before and changed their original values to XF86ScrollUp and XF86ScrollDown,runned this command
xmodmap ~/.xmod
runned xev again and the values were changed but the scroll wheel is still not scrolling at all. I was wondering if there is another way to call the scrolling function other than XF86Scroll... or at least someone could say what I'm doing wrong...
From my limited testing, XF86Scroll* don't actually cause anything to scroll. You need to map the keys to send scroll up/down button events. (Mr Green's link is about mapping buttons to send key events.) Have a look at xbindkeys or your WM configuration. One utility that can send button events is xdotool.
[correction: 'bind', not 'map']
I kinda understood what you're saying, so I need to bind my keyboard scroll wheel to actually scroll anything, I'm using now xbindkeys_config, but now the same doubt comes up, if I wanna bind the scroll wheel to do scroll what is the action I have to assign to the key? Since you said XF86Scroll doesn't cause anything to scroll, what does then?

  • DVR with fms3 , how to make it work?

    Hi
    I am trying to look for documentation on how the DVR functionality is working in fms3. It seems that I need to implement som server-side scripting to make DVR even work. In Flash Live Encoder there is an option to Record DVR, but it when I press the button, all I get is:
    Thu Apr 30 2009 13:15:38 : Start DVR command received
    Thu Apr 30 2009 13:15:38 : Requested DVR command has been successfully issued to Primary FMS server for stream ob1stream
    Thu Apr 30 2009 13:15:38 : Primary - Network Status: NetConnection.Call.Failed error Method not found (DVRSetStreamInfo).
    Does anyone know how to make this work?
    Best Regards Niclas

    ok i'm back for a second......so uhhh....class is in session here is a basic example of a video encoder
    use this to stream your video while recording.....what makes it record?and not live? this line here:
      ns.publish("thefilename", "record");
    the second parameter.....to make it stream live without recording it to file you change it to "live"....the first parameter is what you name your file...
    after this you use your client player to connect to the same connection as outlined.....and to play the same file ..ie   stream.play("thefilename");

    You need to make sure the machine have the corresponding NI-VISA installed. Check in the NI software pages for the right version.
    Also make sure that the com port's can be selected when you first start the application. Eg. if you refer to VISA "COM1" on the XP machine It might be "COM2" on the Win7 machine.

    How can I stick an accordion navigation MENU on top of a mobile scrolling page and make it work properly?
    As I can't pin it, I keep it on top of the page with scroll effect 0.
    It collapse, shows the menu buttons but doesn't close back once it reaches the anchorpoint.

    Muse won't let you, at least not that I know of. You could find the class in the code that muse gives it position: fixed…I think. You could paste it into the head area of your page properties to override the class. I believe something like this would give you persistent nav bar, pinned at the very top, on mobile:
    #youmuseclass {position: fixed;}
    I wouldn't use any parallax on mobile either, the performance is terrible.

    I have not yet seen any official response to the question: "Is the Apple AV Composite cable fully supported with 30pin connector devices upgraded with iOS7 - specifically ? - eg. iPad 2, iPhone 4, iPhone 4s"
    If it is not currently supported is that then due to a bug / oversight and in that case is it something that will be fixed in the near future?

    Do you speak of true blue Java or Javascript?  If the latter then it is a problem with the Browser.
    But if it is the real Java, do you have the offical version of Java from Oracle installed?
    Getting applications to see official Java is a nightmare.  If you install the Runtime Environment only (JavaRTE) most applications do not see it.
    To force offical Java system wide, I found you have to install the Java Developer Kit (JavaJDK).  It's a larger install as it also comes with documentation and compilers but it make offical Java system wide.

    For your problem dealing only with Skype, Skype supports their product with a comprehensive Help system for answers to your Skype-specific questions.
    If you cannot find the answer you need from their Knowledgebase, Troubleshooter, User Guides, or dedicated Skype-user forum, you can get technical support directly from Skype.
    MSN (now Microsoft) Messenger for Mac cannot use ANY camera unless you are using the "corporate" version. The personal version is a text only app.
    This post will give you the options available to you for using your MacBook Pro to contact those whose only chat client application is MSN (now Microsoft) Messenger.
    Your posted system info shows that you are still using Mac OS X (10.5.1). If that is correct, you may want to consider the advantages of updating to the latest version of Leopard.

  • SPA3000 FXO to SPA2000 FXS, how to make it work?

    I'd like to create an environment so I can test the dial plan of SPA3000. But when I dial throughgw0 of SPA3000 while connecting FXO to FXS of SPA2000, from SPA2000 configuration I always get Call 1 State Invalid and Call 1 Tone Reorder. It seems that SPA2000 couldn't recognize the DTMF tone sent by SPA3000. Don't know how to make it work. Please advise. Thanks in advance.

    I have a SPA3102 attached thru the FXO port to the FXS port of a SPA1001.  I don't think there is anything special in the configuration.
    On the PSTN Line Tab I have:
    Preferred Codec: G711u
    Use Pref Codec Only: no
    DTMF Tx Method: AVT
    VoIP-To-PSTN Gateway Enable: Yes
    VoIP Caller Auth Method: none
    Line 1 VoIP Caller DP: none
    PSTN Dialing Delay: 1
    VoIP Answer Delay: 0
    If you are having trouble, for troubleshooting I would run the sip debug trace on the SPA3000.  If the failure is in your line 1 dial plan you won't see anything in the trace.  If the dial plan sends the call to gw0 then you will see the sip invite for the internal call inside the adapter and you should see the FXO port go off hook.  If that looks OK you can run a trace on your SPA2000 to see the result there.  The SPA3000 Info tab will also give you troubleshooting information.  You should see the on-hook and off-hook voltage level of the SPA2000.  You may also see information about the last pstn number dialed.
    On the SPA2000, you would need to have it registered with a voip provider, or else have it set to Make Call Without Reg before it will accept an incoming call from the FXS port.

    I cannot connect a Sony ILCE6000 camera for wireless downloading. Sony feels I need DLNE? They do not know how to make it work. Can anyone help OS10·9·5

    I cannot use the software.. so you need to figure out where the problem is..
    But let me suggest.. the Mac is not the issue and likely the info from Sony is also up the creek.. they make PC's after all.
    It is far more likely the camera is having issues with the wireless network.
    Do you know you have a connection to the home network on the camera.. ?? You have an IP address and some internet or local access at least?
    How you will discover those things is by fiddling.. but if you can tell me what wireless AP you are using that will help.

  • Macbook pro to HDTV, video is working but audio is not working, how to make audio work as well

    Macbook pro to HDTV, video is working but audio is not working, how to make audio work as well

    If you use an HDMI cable, the audiostream will be integrated, so there will be sound when using an HDMI cable!
    Not necessarily.  That only works as stated if you have one of the most recent MBP's that has a built-in HDMI port.
    If the MBP only has a Thunderbolt or miniDisplayPort, you need an appropriate adapter cable and even if you use an HDMI adapter or cable to connect to your HDTV there is no guarantee it will carry audio.  You have to determine if your specific MBP model supports audio out through its miniDisplayPort or Thunderbolt output, and whether the adapter does likewise.
