japanese UX91S Vista drivers

[ozkaya]

on this month's pc magazine, it says that windows 7 and vista will share the same driver kernel so that windows 7 will use the same drivers. If this is true, your vista drivers should work with windows 7.

Some users were already using my driver pack in Windows 7

Bleh the keyboard drivers still don't have all the buttons enabled(the Yen button and some buttons are bound to the correct functions... I'm NOT talking about the vaio touch launch/+/- special keys but the keyboard keys)

in case you don't know, you can remap some of those keys with "remapkey.exe" from Microsoft.

Thanks for the tip

I tried the Windows Server 2003 Resource Kit Tools(which includes remapkey
The format only lets you remap already mapped keys

The problem is the Japanese keyboard has keys that are not recognized


I found out the Japanese keyboard is OADG 109A (which is supported 100% in linux)
Changing the hardware to an unsigned japanese keyboard driver in Vista/7 fixed my problem 99%

Only 1 key is unrecognized now

yeah, you're right about unrecognized keys, that's why I said some so, which driver did you use and does it still map already mapped keys or can you add new characters (like accented letters)?

[VaioUX]

Any of the drivers will do
I couldn't tell any difference

The keys do resolve different addresses so a remap is still possible(I just haven't gotten around to it)
All the japanese keys are already mapped properly except for the Yen key

I remapped the Vaio button to the windows key(Vaio Launcher takes a frustrating ~2 seconds to load even with SLC SSD)
I plan on remapping the Japanese "Yen" key but I haven't gotten around to it

any status updates as to whether or not this pack is perfected or we still need to do some minor tweaks ourselves?
