No test reports so far. To test this: start X, then: - press the "vol -" button many times (don't hold is pressed), until volume goes to zero. - start a movie in mplayer, there's no sound as volume is zero. - press the "vol +" button and hold it down; now mplayer indicates the volume reached the maximum. Still you don't hear anything. Confusing, isn't it? Then rebuild the kernel with this diff and retry. With the diff volume keys are simple and deterministic: they simply adjust the volume and don't trigger hot-keys or whatever. -- Alexandre
