The Acer 1825 has a special Button for recovery purpose (in windows) above the ESC Key to use this button for a arbitrary script following steps are necessary (in general it is the same procedure like shown in this post http:\/\/www.ceh-photo.de\/blog\/?p=200<\/a>):<\/p>\n

  1. Add\n
    setkeycodes<\/span> e062 176<\/span><\/div><\/div>\n

    to rc.local (e.g.<\/p>\n

    sudo<\/span> gedit \/<\/span>etc\/<\/span>rc.local<\/div><\/div>\n

    )<\/li>\n

  2. Reboot (or use the setkeycodes-command in terminal)<\/li>\n
  3. \n
    gnome-keybinding-properties<\/div><\/div>\n<\/li>\n
  4. Add a new command and set the path of execution to your script or application you want to start with this button<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    If you want to start or stop my gyro-auto-rotation script (http:\/\/www.ceh-photo.de\/blog\/?p=186<\/a>) with this button use following script:<\/p>\n

    1
    2
    3
    4
    5
    6
    7
    8
    <\/div><\/td>
    #!\/bin\/bash<\/span>
    \n
    \npid<\/span>=$(<\/span> pgrep gyro-auto-rotat )<\/span>
    \nif<\/span> [<\/span> "$pid<\/span>"<\/span> == ""<\/span> ]<\/span> ;then<\/span>
    \ngyro-auto-rotate.run &<\/span>
    \nelse<\/span>
    \nkill<\/span> -9<\/span> $pid<\/span>
    \nfi<\/span><\/div><\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/div>\n

    You need to store this script under some name and give it execution rights with<\/p>\n

    chmod<\/span> +x scriptname<\/div><\/div>\n

    If you are interested how you could figure out the keycode of this special key, you only need to check dmesg after pressing it (Thanks to Tomfrancart from ubuntuforums.org)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
