Re: Regarding GTK Entry keys

[Sanny Chawla <sanny chawla gmail com>]

Hi Ashok,

This might be because of the incorrect hardware keycode for the function
keys on your embedded system. The key events that you mentioned (Backspace ,
Delete , etc) are activated through key bindings in Gtk which needs a valid
hardware keycode.

You can try modifying the keymap table for this. xmodmap utility can be
helpful for the same.

Cheers ,
Sanny
