When you say "full screen" you mean console ? the volume keys control is implemented by window manager's global shortcut mechanism, so it obviously won't work unless your in X. > so is thare a way to grab thease keys (the volume keys seems just to > be regular keyboard keys with new scan codes) > before they are forwarded to X and control the volume ? Thinkpads have the "tpbd" daemon which reads the thinkpad special buttons and it changes volume and stuff before it gets to X. Its probably possible to implement stuff like that for your laptop as well, but you have to be careful to disable the window manager's built-in volume keys support as that would likely to conflict with the external daemon. -- Oded ================================================================= To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word "unsubscribe" in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]
