Problems with G Key Assignments

[osarusan82]

This driver made all of the keys on my G710 function in Ubuntu, but there's a problem with the G Keys (the six bonus keys on the left side).

The driver maps them to the numbers 1 through 6. If I use something like input-remapper to change the key assignments, it changes them for the regular keyboard numbers 1 through 6 as well. So it's not really feasible to remap them or use them as anything except for an extra 1,2,3,4,5,6.

Is there some other way to change the output of these keys that won't overlap with normal keyboard functions?

Did you try the Xmodmap included in the repo? https://github.com/Wattos/logitech-g710-linux-driver/blob/master/misc/.Xmodmap

You can use xev program to check what keycodes are being produced and if they match those in the modmap or are the same as the regular numerals.

Strangely, the behavior has changed since I last posted. I think I must have messed up setting up the xmodmap before. I tried it again after your suggestion and after rebooting, the G keys are behaving differently.

They seem to be working as their own keys now, so now I just have to figure out how to remap them to the keys I want.
