Overview

You may use keyfuzz to manipulate the scancode/keycode translation tables of keyboard drivers supporting the Linux input layer API (as included in Linux 2.6). This is useful for fixing the translation tables of multimedia keyboards or laptop keyboards with special keys. keyfuzz is not a daemon like Gnome acme which reacts on special hotkeys but a tool to make non-standard keyboards compatible with such daemons. keyfuzz should be run once at boot time, the modifications it makes stay active after the tool quits until reboot. keyfuzz does not interact directly with XFree86. However, newer releases of the latter (4.1 and above) rely on the Linux input API, so they take advantage of the fixed translation tables.

This package does not meet the current criteria needed to be a viable candidate for the Portage tree since the upstream sources are no longer available at the location provided by the ebuild. This criteria is currently listed at the following URL:
https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Project:Proxy_Maintainers/Maintainer_Wanted
Metric: Upstream status: Exists; "Package must still be available and fetchable (did it move to github, bitbucket, ...?)"


If you (or another user) are still wanting this package to make it into the Portage tree please let us know by re-opening this bug and include a new usable upstream source. Sadly, until that time we cannot move forward with this ebuild.
