No keycodes for Extrakeys in Xorg but on the VC

For some days now I try to get some extrakeys working for X. The frustrating thing is that I get Scancodes as well as Keycodes when I am in a virtual console by using showkey but when I use xev in a XSessions there is not only a Symbol missing for the Key but there also is no Keycode. The Output of such a key in xev is the following for example:
FocusOut event, serial 32, synthetic NO, window 0x1800001,
mode NotifyGrab, detail NotifyAncestor
FocusIn event, serial 32, synthetic NO, window 0x1800001,
mode NotifyUngrab, detail NotifyAncestor
KeymapNotify event, serial 32, synthetic NO, window 0x0,
keys: 2 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0
0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0
Hence in udev things work while in evdev they don't. Going through all the related pages in the wiki I only found information about what to do when the symbols are missing in Xorg but not if the keycodes are missing. And the mapping of Scan Codes to Keycodes for udev with hwdb does not provide the keycodes in X, so is there a possibility to map scancodes for xev or how do I get recognized these keys in X. I would be happy for every hint that puts me into a direction cause I don't know where to look further.
EDIT: Of cause I tried several Dell keyboardmodels with setxkbmap

You can try plugging the headphones in and out several times, also try toggling the volume and mute buttons while doing this.
Also click on GO in the menu bar>Utilities>Audio MIDI set up .app and see if your can select built in from there.
Utilities/Audio MIDI Setup/Built-In Output/Output and in Format change from the default 2ch-24bit integer to any other format (say, 2ch-32bit float). This should activate the headphone jack.  I moved the format back to the original 2ch-24 integer setting and the headphones continued working.
PRAM reset:
Power off, power on holding  OPTION  COMMAND  P  R  immediately after powering it up, and hold till you hear the second chime, it can take 10-30 seconds for the second chime to happen.
There is a micro switch in the headphone port that sometimes gets stuck, you can also take cotton swap, cut the cotton end off and try to GENTLY "massage" the port to free up the switch.
If none of these helps, you may want to take it to an Apple store for a free evaluation
Hope one of these offers some help

    Also, it is not liking me adding a large ammount of images in one go?

    Remember: we cannot see your machine. There are 9 different versions of iPhoto and they run on 8 different versions of the Operating System. The tricks and tips for dealing with issues vary depending on the version of iPhoto and the version of the OS.  So to get help you need to give as much information as you can. Basic things like :
    - What version of iPhoto.
    - What version of the Operating System.
    - Details. As full a description of the problem as you can. For instance: 'iPhoto won't export' is best explained by describing how you are trying to export, and so on.
    - History: Is this going on long? Has anything been installed or deleted?
    - Are there error messages?
    - What steps have you tried already to solve the issue.
    - Anything unusual about your set up? Or how you use iPhoto?
    Anything else you can think of that might help someone understand the problem you have.

    I have had elements 10 for a long time but recently the scroll bar for the fonts has disappeared. any ideas?

    First try resetting the tool by clicking the tiny arrow at the far left end of the options bar and choosing reset tool.
    But you should be able to use the arrow keys to navigate through the fonts, too.

    Hi la recruiter,
    There are a few types of files that Acrobat can't convert--and PDF files with security applied is one on them. I'm happy to cancel your subscription, if you decide that it's not going to work out for you. Please confirm that you'd like me to proceed with the cancelation, and I'll take care of it right away.

  • On several of my apps my iPad 2 w/ IOS 4.3.3 said I needed to update the apps and the updates were for ios4.3.3 but now the apps don't work at all after updating.  They just flash on the screen but don't stay displayed.  What is going on?

    On several of my apps my iPad 2 w/ IOS 4.3.3 said I needed to update the apps and the updates were for IOS4.3.3 but when the update was complete the apps would no longer work.  They would just flash when I tapped the screen to bring them up but will stay displayed.  What is the problem?

    I Also have this problem!!
    In my situation, the screen simply started exhibiting the same symptoms a few weeks ago (early February) for no apparent reason.  At first I thought the screen was dead, but discovered the heat solution by accident.  Now I turn it on and keep it from going to sleep until I go to bed.  Thank goodness the battery is still awesome on this thing.
    I bought it new and still has the original screen, I keep it at home (never below 62 degrees).  Coincidentally, this happened a day or two after the expiration of the warranty!!  Any help figuring this one out would be eternally appreciated.

    There is no Apple here, this is a user to user forum.  When you said you restored, then you restore as NEW?
    If you restored as New and still the problem persiist, then it time to take a trip to the Apple store.

  • HT2731 I have 2 apple iPods on the same account, And they have the Same songs on them. How can I get a new account for one of them but not the other? Can I wipe the memory of 1? How would I do that?

    I have 2 iPods one I don't use anymore. I would like to make a new account for one but not the other. Is that possible? If I wipe the memory in one will the other wipe out too? How can I do all of this?

    You don't have to do anything with the first iPod that you don't use anymore. If you are planning on keeping it, put in a drawer in your house and forget about it.
    You don't need a second account to use with the new iPod. I use one Appl e ID and iTunes library for two iPods, and two iPad. I have different content on all four devices. You can select exactly what you want to sync to each device and it can be different content on all devices.

  • HT1904 I chose a movie to download from I Tunes, it seemed to begin downloading then stopped. I checked my account and was billed for it and paid but now the movie is no where to be found. When I go to the support area recommended it says "cannot connect,

    Question;   I have been using I Tunes for over three years now. The other night I chose a movie to watch on my IPad2 and rented it and began the download and all seemed Ok. Then I could not find the movie, went to my account page and I had already been charged for the movie and I Tunes was already paid but NO moviie anywhere. I sent an email to ITunes but so far no response and it has been several days now.  When I try to go to the purchased page or rentals page I get the message that says "Cannot connect to this page, try again later" and this is what I get over and over again.  Also, did anyone out there know that ITunes charges a different amount for a movie depending on whether you are using a laptop or an IPad.  The laptop is $3.99 and the IPad is $4.99 for the same movie.  Is anyone else on to this?
    Anyway, if anyone has any suggestions I would appreciate your help.  Oh, almost forgot, when I click on the downloads button it only goes to a page with Something about agreements with software and gives you choices of all the countries on earth and when you choose the USA it gives you the same old message of sorry cannot connect, try again later.  Does anyone have the phone number of ITunes?  Thanks

    Okay, you need to contact support definitely about what's going on. Here is a form that will send an e-mail into support for you:
    http://www.apple.com/emea/support/itunes/contact.html
    As far as the prices, the difference is likely the laptop version is the SD version and the iPad one is available in HD. That's the only reason you'll see a price difference. It has nothing to do with the device with movies/movie rentals. Apps yes, these no.

  • Have the original disc for Photoshop Elements #11 but lost the serial number. [was: Janakhi Singh]

    Have the original disc for my Adobe Photoshop #11 but lost the serial number and urgently need same, in order to sign into my program account.  Need some information?

    Do you mean Photoshop Elements 11 or Photoshop CSx/11.x.x ?
    How did you purchase “Photoshop #11”?
    If you installed and registered your software at some point in the past, then your serial number should be online at www.adobe.com in the My Account area that lists registered products. 
    If you purchased your software from Adobe.com as a download then there may be an order receipt in your order history in my My Account area that could have your serial number. 
    If you purchased PS from a retail store then perhaps they have something that would help you.
    Adobe is not in a position to give away software so merely asserting that you have a disc (which contains something that could also easily be downloaded for free) probably isn’t going to be enough.  Do you have the box or the receipt?

  • Is there anyway to set a passcode for my iPhone/iPad, but prevent the device from being disabled?

    My wife and I have iPhones, and also have an iPad. We also have three children, and recently they have been trying to guess our passcodes so that they can watch videos and play games. Trouble is, after 10 attempts, the device will disable for 60 seconds, and then if the 11th attempt is wrong, the device will disable for 5 minutes, etc. My iPad is currently disabled for 60-minutes. Grrr.
    Is there anyway to set a passcode to keep the children out, and yet prevent the device from being disabled on successive attempts? I realise that this feature is there to protect our devices from brute-force attacks, but we are being penalised, in that our devices become disabled for a period of time.

    Well, so you have to ask: Is the problem your iPad or your children? Another question: If they're not to watch videos or play games, then why are they on the iPad in the first place?
    Obviously you already know the answer to your question; there is no way to set it up the way that you want to. If you nonetheless feel that you should be able to do that, then put together your best case for it and make your wishes known directly to apple via their established Feedback links:

  • How do I enable auto-complete for gmail password? I have five accounts and it works for 3 of them but not the other 2.

    I have five gmail accounts. Three of them have the auto-complete feature enabled for the password. The two most recent accounts do not auto-fill so I must type in my password every time. The auto-fill works fine on my laptop but not on my desk-top. My operating system is Windows XP.

  • Cool new video for Flex and CF but wheres the source files?

    Here's the video:  http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/flashbuilder4/tutorials/flexcf/
    Very cool and very nice presentation.  Thank you, Tim Buntel.
    But my CFCs dont look anything like that when I connect to them.  What are the source files used in the demo so I can learn from this example?

    You're welcome!
    Attached are the CFCs that I believe I used (been doing so many demos lately, I tend to forget).  Notice that I've used a strongly typed approach (created an actor type and the service returns arrays of those object instances), but you could use a weakly typed service (e.g. just return a CF query object).  If you go weakly typed, you just need to perform the extra "Configure return type" step on the service in Flash Builder.
    Bear in mind, these services will be very easy to create with Bolt.  We're working on some features where you'll simply point to your datasource and the whole ColdFusion service will be generated in either "classic" CFML or using the new ORM functionality which is upcoming in CF9.  Watch for that in public beta soon.
    Oh, and I don't have the Flex project source handy - do you need that as well?
    Tim
