Does the race of half-elves on Khorvaire in Eberron have its own name?

$begingroup$


In Eberron, specifically on the continent of Khorvaire, the half-elves have lived on the continent for centuries, to the extent that the majority of half-elves are descended from half-elven parents, and they are effectively their own true race.



It seems peculiar to me that they would still be called "half-elves" rather than their own name.



Does their race have any canonical name other than half-elves?

          The technical term is "Khoravar".



          From the section on half-elves in the Wayfinder's Guide to Eberron (p. 77-78), under the heading "The Khoravar":




          When two half-elves conceive, the child is always a half-elf. Over
          the course of generations, families and communities of half-elves have
          developed their own cultural identity. Members of these families
          generally dislike the term “half-elf;” they call themselves Khoravar,
          an Elven term meaning “children of Khorvaire.”




          The rest of the section describes the Khoravar culture.

                    ASUS Zenbook UX433/UX333 — Configure Touchpad-embedded numpad on Linux

                    Image
                    0 1 I have an ASUS Zenbook UX433,on which ASUS decided to innovate by embedding a Numpad inside the touchpad (see picture 1). Toggling between classic touchpad mode and numpad (also turns the touchpad LEDs on) can be done through the golden button in the top-right corner of the touchpad. However, on my Manjaro arch Linux config, this behavior does not work by default and I can only use the touchpad, no numpad. Has anyone been able to configure the numpad to work on Linux, or have any idea how this could be achieved? EDIT1: I have had a look at the official Windows drivers for the UX433FA TouchPad, but was not able to make anything of it. I tried installing them on Linux using tools like NDISWrapper, but they do not detect the TouchPad/Numpad hardware, and my understanding of drivers is too limited. ...
