Recently I tried it, and it works in Hardy Heron also, where the wacom stuff doesn't work o-o-t-b.
Today I had to skip a class to get back my scroller, but at least it payed off. It was a lot easier than I thought. My bad luck was that I'm just a windows-user and not a linux-guru.
Here's how it works:
xev - "print contents of X events" - is the command to check, which button moves which key. The jog dial wasn't recognized in xev.
dmesg - "print or control the kernel ring buffer" showed me what is happening behind the screens.
It said:
[ 218.438785] atkbd.c: Unknown key pressed (translated set 2, code 0x87 on isa0060/serio0).
[ 218.438791] atkbd.c: Use 'setkeycodes e007' to make it known.
[ 218.479875] atkbd.c: Unknown key released (translated set 2, code 0x87 on isa0060/serio0).
[ 218.479881] atkbd.c: Use 'setkeycodes e007' to make it known.
[ 218.819908] atkbd.c: Unknown key pressed (translated set 2, code 0x86 on isa0060/serio0).
[ 218.819915] atkbd.c: Use 'setkeycodes e006' to make it known.
[ 219.041670] atkbd.c: Unknown key released (translated set 2, code 0x86 on isa0060/serio0).
[ 219.041678] atkbd.c: Use 'setkeycodes e006' to make it known.
for moving the jog dial "up" and "down" ways.
As for setkeycodes it wasn't so trivial. The "keycodes" doesn't match any keycode that xev gives back, so I tried from 1 to 109 until I found the keys I was looking for. (104: Prior; 109: Next)
In the end, for me the following command solved the problem:
sudo setkeycodes e006 104
sudo setkeycodes e007 109
I don't know if this affected my success, but I did a
sudo modprobe hp-wmi
and I left it like that. I wanted to get the 'sudo modprobe tc1100-wmi' work, but I couldn't, and that's how I accidentally found real soultion.
By the way these were the keycodes for moving:
102: Home
103: Up
104: Prior
105: Left
106: Right
107: End
108: Down
109: Next
To make the changes permanent you'll have to add the setkeycodes lines without the sudo to the /etc/rc.local before the "exit 0".
