Multimedia keys in Woody?

2004-01-25 Thread Joel Konkle-Parker 
What's the best way to get my keyboard's multimedia keys to work in Woody?

I've used Gnome 2.4's media keys applet, but is there something 
available in 1.4 that can do the same thing?

Thanks in advance.

  depends on what you mean by 'working'

  to make them recognized by X you need to set proper keyboard, e.g. 
for  example a logitech keyboard I have:

Section InputDevice
Identifier  Logitech Cordless iTouch
Driver  keyboard
Option  CoreKeyboard
Option  XkbRules  xfree86
Option  XkbModel  logicordless
Option  XkbLayout us
EndSection
  see /etc/X11/xkb for details, it's fairly easy to create a new 
keyboard if your keyboard is not there, you can often find a similar one 
and just add few missing keys

  you can use xev program to see whether your keys are recognized by X 
(and whether they have keycode (number) and keysym (string, name))

  you can then use various programs to make these keys to do something 
- either your window manager (look for keyboard shortcuts, hotkeys and 
similar in wm docs) or a standalone programs (e.g. xbindkeys)

I use the hotkeys program. It is included in Woody. It has some
predefined configuration files for several keyboard types.

you may take a look at lineak, but i don't know if it's in woody.. it's
independent and works with every de/wm.

Thanks for the responses. The Gnome 2.4 applet I was talking about was 
'acme' http://www.hadess.net/misc-code.php3. lineak isn't avail. in 
woody either.

Oh well, I'll try hotkeys and such.
