RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description of problem:

To support the various Fn-keys found on the latest Toshiba laptops, we need to introduce a remapping from the provided kernel keycode to a keycode compatible with X.

For instance KEY_TOUCHPAD_TOGGLE has to be remapped to F21 for X to be able to deliver Xf86TouchpadToggle.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
6.6

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. run xev
2. hit the corresponding touchpad toggle key 
3. see the xev output

Actual results:

xev does not show Xf86TouchpadToggle

Expected results:

xev should show Xf86TouchpadToggle

Attached is the policy key mapping required for the Toshiba laptops.
Only Touchpad toggle needs to be remapped from what I can see on the keyboard.
