   Hi!
   Im probe the xmodmap and this driver but i cant doit to run the red key W in gamepad. Any idea? In keycode appear as 130.

   i installed the driver for my zboard. but it did work right. i ran –checkZboard to see if my would work. It told me “Your Zboard is not compatible with the default configurations.
   However, this program may still be of use.”

   i also ran –forceError and go this
   vr: 0:2:0
   argc: –forceError
   argp: 1
   argid: -1
   oxp: cc

   Can i use this program or not, if so how?

   Hi viodream,

   It maybe a bit late to post this but, If you run xev in the shell a small window will open. keystokes and mouse movements will be shown the the shell. My W key was diifferent also so I changed it in the .Xmodmap File

   Hi Mr. Pig, After a lot of searching many links keep leading me back here. I am having a problem while trying to setup your zboard-config. If I run “compile.sh” nothing happens, even if I run it as root with ctrl+F2. I am using Ubuntu 9.04.

   Any help will be greatly appreciated, this keyboard is the only thing stopping me from migrating to linux

   Ok I found out why i was unable to install it, I was lacking a g++ compiler. My Zboard is sadly not supported, any idea as to how i could use this program still?

   ok sorry, now a multiple post. i have managed to bind most of my basic keys except for my red E (strafe right) and my Score Tab which seem to open “search for files” and Calculator. how do I go about remapping those? sorry, I am really new to linux

   Hi.

   Your app is good. I just created a keymap for my «non compatible» Zboard Merc.
   It looks like this. It is not for qwerty but it needs just a few changes. To get the last keycodes I needed to change my shortcuts bindings in gnome. (search shortcut in the menu in ubuntu-based distos)
   In the shortcut manager you need to disable the shortcut for calculator, mail and finder. Remap with another key, explorer for example.

   ! red area (movement)
   keycode 181 = a
   keycode 180 = z
   keycode 225 = e
   keycode 166 = q
   keycode 136 = s
   keycode 167 = d

   ! 1 to 11
   keycode 87 = 1
   keycode 88 = 2
   keycode 89 = 3
   keycode 83 = 4
   keycode 84 = 5
   keycode 85 = 6
   keycode 79 = 7
   keycode 80 = 8
   keycode 81 = 9
   keycode 90 = 0
   keycode 86 = minus

   ! save, load, printscreen
   keycode 137 = o
   keycode 138= p
   keycode 107 = l

   ! left area (score, voice)
   keycode 140 = caps_lock
   keycode 148 = tab
   keycode 106 = alt_l
   keycode 163 = shift_l
   keycode 91 = control_l

   ! right area (reload, use)
   keycode 164 = r
   keycode 125 = f
   keycode 194 = t
   keycode 195 = g
   keycode 196 = v
   keycode 197 = b
   keycode 142 = p
   keycode 198 = c
   keycode 63 = space
   ! [end] gamepad of keyboard (left)

   If you would add it as an additional map you can.

    So, I may be a little late to the party, but I just recently got a Steelseries Merc and can’t get any custom config file to work with it fully.

    http://www.steelseries.com/int/products/keyboards/merc/information

    I really want to use this under Ubuntu/Fedora if possible.

    Houses are expensive and not every person can buy it. But, home loans are created to help different people in such kind of cases.

    Thank you, it’s very admirable description it might be very polite for students. For example last year when I had a difficult of time at the end of semester with a eternal flow of academic assignments and homework, I had a astounding idea to buy it somewhere and than use plagiarism checker. I was so dead that I did not care for what can appear when my academic work was written by other side person. To my greatest surprise, research paper was estimable the price I paid for it. I was so pleased with the quality and now everytime i use this service.
