It doesn't matter when you assign those keys: the X key symbol exists before and after that, only the mapping changes. This should work with a running xmms. The following work just fine here. Be aware of the necessary file permissions: $ cat .Xmodmap keycode 160 = XF86AudioMute keycode 174 = XF86AudioLowerVolume keycode 176 = XF86AudioRaiseVolume $ ls -l .Xmodmap -rw-r--r-- 1 hs hs 135 2006-08-11 20:10 .Xmodmap $ ls -l .kde/Autostart/ .directory keyboard.sh $ ls -l .kde/Autostart/keyboard.sh -rwxr-xr-x 1 hs hs 42 2006-08-11 20:27 .kde/Autostart/keyboard.sh $ cat .kde/Autostart/keyboard.sh #!/bin/sh /usr/bin/xmodmap $HOME/.Xmodmap HS -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
