I want to get those keys bound (they are from left to right: search, files, email, www, mute, and volume + and -) to things such as kfind, thunderbird, firefox, and xmms (next song and previous song) for the volume buttons.
I have the xconfig set to a 105key keyboard but I dontk now what else to do, these buttons hardly work in windows so I have no idea where to start |

try to run "xev". in your xterm you will see every event that takes place in the white window, especially it will tell you the keycode of this buttons, if they have any. then you have to look if your windowmanager supports binding of commands with any keycodes.
if this buttons do not have any keycode perhaps they release an acpi-event. then you can try the package "acpid". on my laptop i had to activate asus laptop hotkey support in the kernel to receive these acpi-events. perhapsd your keyboard appears in the kernel-configuration somewhere. _________________ please, feel free to correct my english. - por favor, corrige mi español. |
