 Posted: Wed Dec 20, 2006 6:45 am Post subject: kde 'input action' trigger not reg'n multimedia keys[Solved] |
 |
|
I have a microsoft comfort curve keyboard 2000. It has a few 'extra' keys - back, forward, vol-, mute, etc.
I can not get kde control center>Regional & Accessibility>Input Actions to recognize those keys. It works fine in another install of gentoo on the same machine, running the same kernel as this fresh install.
When I select a trigger, it seems to detect me pressing the mute key - because the dotted outline (active widget indicator) around button disappears, and it repaints the button each time I press key, but it does not register the key value. It does register regular keys (like F12, shift+M, etc)
Any ideas on what the problem is, or how to go about figuring out why it works in one install and not the other?
kde-base/khotkeys-3.5.5
x11-drivers/xf86-input-evdev-1.1.2-r2
Disable KHotKeys daemon is not checked.

xev reporting " (keysym 0x0, NoSymbol)" looks interesting, so I'm going to boot into the working install and see what it reports.
it reports: (keysym 0x1008ff12, XF86AudioMute) - where is XF86AudioMute coming from?

from http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_Use_Multimedia_Keys:
| Quote: | KDE
With KDE you can set almost all settings through the Control Center if you have a supported keyboard. Go to Control Center -> Regional & Accessibility -> Keyboard Layout and choose your Keyboard model (I have a Logitech iTouch). |
I *do* remember setting that, problem is, in my fresh install, there is no 'Keyboard Layout' - just Accessibility, Country/Region & La.., Input Actions, Keyboard Shortcuts.
Where did 'Keyboard Layout' go? |
