PPkeyboard oddities with top row characters on "dreemurrs-embedded / Pine64-Arch" - Jeremiah Roise - 03-02-2023 So I recently installed arch https://github.com/dreemurrs-embedded/Pine64-Arch/releases/tag/20230203 on on my Pinephone (not pro), and tried to use the keyboard which was fine except the top row characters ( - _ + = ~ etc), I don't know exactly what i did but it fixed it for me. I updated my ppkb's firmware to 1.3 here's the guide to update https://xnux.eu/log/#078 I then used the bottom part of this guide https://wiki.mobian-project.org/doku.php?id=ppaccessories this part: Symbol Keys With the latest version of the keyboard drivers, the Fn-symbol keys disappear. This can be fixed by:
Environment=XKB_DEFAULT_MODEL=ppkb
New versions of Mobian do not launch Phosh as a systemd service. In that case the override above will not work. Instead, add the following line to Code: ~/.profile export XKB_DEFAULT_MODEL=ppkb and reboot. I then went to (phosh) settings -> keyboard -> special character Entry -> Alternate Characters Key: and changed it to left alt it then worked, and it continued to work when I changed it back to the original alternate character key. Hope this helps someone out there! RE: PPkeyboard oddities with top row characters on "dreemurrs-embedded / Pine64-Arch" - drh - 03-26-2023 Thanks for posting! I did find your post useful. |
