If these were assigned to the standard X multimedia button names (XF86AudioRaiseVolume etc) they work automatically. If not, you can first try picking your keyboard layout in kcontrol -> regional & accessibility -> keyboard layout, if your keyboard layout is there and you pick it, it will probably work automatically again. If not then you can assign actions manually in kcontrol -> regional & accessibility -> input actions.
Thanks! Keyboard layouts were not enabled, so I enabled them and chose my layout. It didn't change anything. I'd already been looking at the "input actions", but I don't see how to add commands for actions such as volume control or skip track. I can create a new action and assign a button to it, but the actions I create must be one of the following: Command/URL K-Menu entry DCOP call Keyboard input Activate Window A keyboard shortcut can be assigned to a "keyboard input" that can be instructed to have effect on a particular program, supposing it's running. So I could program volume control for each program that has keyboard volume control already (this does not cover every case). Much better would be to control a mixer, so that one setting affects all output from the soundcard. But the mixers don't seem to be controlled by particular keys (the up and down arrow keys work on faders, but you have to place the focus on the right fader first, and there are a lot of them). This would be clunky because I'd have to have a mixer window always open, which is not how it works in Gnome, but it might be a workaround--if it worked, and I don't see how it can, unless someone can suggest a mixer where particular keystrokes can control volume and mute. g -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
