Does anyone have the multimediakeys on the included keyboard with dimension 8400 working under KDE?
I need help with them. Have searched this forum the wiki on google but all solutions I have found doesnt work for me
I have mapped the keys with help of xev, but when I try to assign the keys to functions in Khotkeys it doesnt work
The keys work in xmms with the itouch-plugin, but I need them systemwide. Anyone who can help or can lead me in the right diretion?
/home/fredric/.Xmodmap
| Code: | keycode 160 = XF86AudioMute
keycode 162 = XF86AudioPlay
keycode 178 = XF86WWW
keycode 236 = XF86Mail
keycode 161 = XF86Calculater
keycode 174 = XF86AudioLowerVolume
keycode 176 = XF86AudioRaiseVolume
keycode 164 = XF86AudioStop
keycode 144 = XF86AudioPrev
keycode 153 = XF86AudioNext
keycode 178 = XF86HomePage
keycode 234 = XF86Back
keycode 233 = XF86Forward
keycode 232 = XF86Stop
keycode 160 = XF86Reload
keycode 235 = XF86MyComputer |
/home/fredric/.xprofile
| Code: | /usr/bin/xmodmap /etc/X11/xinit/.Xmodmap (this .Xmodmap has the same content as the one above)
|
/home/fredric/.xsession
| Code: | | /usr/X11R6/bin/xmodmap /home/fredric/.Xmodmap |

I´ve managed to get the keys working sometimes, they work under gnome
it seems like if kde doesnt load my xmodmap, and when i do it maunally and Im able to assign actions it doesnt work when pressing those buttons
xev shows that they are mapped to symbols(? eg XF86AudioMute) |

My xmodmap stopped working under KDE at some point.
I was able to get my media keys working under KDE by disabling kmilo (under KDE Components -> Service Manager) and then creating my own entries under KHotKeys (under Regional & Accessibility in the Control Center).
For example, I made a "Volume Control" group with an action named "Volume Up" linked to the key XF86AudioRaiseVolume (which got inserted automatically by just increasing my volume control) I then linked it to the command/url:
/usr/bin/amixer -q sset Master 1+
There are other mixers and commands that work just as well. There may be other and better ways to get things to work, this is what I did that finally worked for me. |

I have done exactly as you did, but still it doesnt work, xmodmap doesnt load, and somehow xmms now change its internal and the pcm-volume by pressing VolumeRaise, when its plugin is enabled
I have tried to set lower/raise-volume in kamix, but that doesnt work either
It would be much easier if I just could insert the keycode instead of the symbols
I dont understand why kde has such problem with this,while it in gnome works almost out of the box
I also get a weird output of xev:
| Code: | KeyRelease event, serial 31, synthetic NO, window 0x3200001,
root 0x46, subw 0x3200002, time 1394043, (18,14), root:(1116,810),
state 0x2010, keycode 174 (keysym 0x1008ff11, XF86AudioLowerVolume), same_screen YES,
XKeysymToKeycode returns keycode: 165
XLookupString gives 0 bytes:
|
Its says 174 and then return 165????
Is that normal or is that some part of my problem?
