hwdb rules for running Linux on my Xiaomi RedmiBook Pro 15 2022 Ryzen edition laptop.
- Wrong or inconvenient key codes generated by the internal keyboard of the laptop. Currently it includes:
- Enter key should not be KP_Enter (that's for the numeric keypad)
- Remap the useless XiaoAi key to Insert key, which is present but only as cubersome Fn+F12 if Fn Lock is on.
- Remap the Fn-locked right Ctrl as just Ctrl, not Menu. Most Linux users would turn on the Fn Lock permanently, so a right Ctrl is more useful than a Menu key.
- If your keyboard doesn't work at all in Linux, that's because your kernel is too old (<6.0) and missing a patch to make it work. Either apply the patch and rebuild the kernel, or to use a newer (>=6.0) kernel.
- Media keys. You need to use redmibook-wmi for that.
- On Windows. Go to your support representative and pray for a human to understand your problem.
Install the AUR package redmibook-hwdb-git.
The basic idea is to put the *.hwdb file somewhere like /usr/lib/udev/hwdb.d/, and run /usr/bin/systemd-hwdb --usr update command to update the database.
