Ok, how I did it (when KDE control panel did not work): 1. In command line run, xev. Press the multimedia buttons and check that it responds - if it does your in luck and the buttons are useful - some keyboards need special drivers to get to some functions. Record the keycodes. 2. Create and edit a file in your home folder named < .Xmodmap > Add the keycodes and functions to perform. ie mine looks like this (boring keyboard) keycode 160 = XF86AudioMute keycode 174 = XF86AudioLowerVolume keycode 176 = XF86AudioRaiseVolume XF86AudioMute, XF86AudioLowerVolume, etc actions are predefined. Check in </usr/share/X11/XKeysymDB> for available actions. 3. run xmodmap and check if the keys work as expected. on restart .Xmodmap is automatically loaded.
Something is wrong here, because it's not working. I followed you instructions, and xmodmap reads the file, as you can see:
xmodmap -pk | grep Audio
129 0x1008ff14 (XF86AudioPlay) 0x1008ff31 (XF86AudioPause) 130 0x1008ff15 (XF86AudioStop) 131 0x1008ff16 (XF86AudioPrev) 132 0x1008ff17 (XF86AudioNext) 144 0x1008ff16 (XF86AudioPrev) 153 0x1008ff17 (XF86AudioNext) 160 0x1008ff12 (XF86AudioMute) 162 0x1008ff14 (XF86AudioPlay) 0x1008ff31 (XF86AudioPause) 164 0x1008ff15 (XF86AudioStop) 174 0x1008ff11 (XF86AudioLowerVolume) 176 0x1008ff13 (XF86AudioRaiseVolume) (keys 129-132 were not my doing and are not in my .Xmodmap file, they must come configured with the system). But the only program which reacts to the keys is still Amarok, and that's because it's got it's own configuration. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
