 Posted: Wed Feb 21, 2007 5:19 pm Post subject: RaiseVolume key broken (but others work) [SOLVED] |
 |
|
Ever since I upgraded to modular X.org 7.0, my RaiseVolume key stopped working. I don't understand what happened, since the LowerVolume and Mute keys both work fine. Here is the result of pressing RaiseVolume in an xev window:
| Code: | KeyPress event, serial 35, synthetic NO, window 0x2600001,
root 0x7f, subw 0x0, time 3846424748, (123,66), root:(296,91),
state 0x0, keycode 176 (keysym 0x1008ff13, XF86AudioRaiseVolume), same_screen YES,
XKeysymToKeycode returns keycode: 175
XLookupString gives 0 bytes:
XmbLookupString gives 0 bytes:
XFilterEvent returns: False
KeyRelease event, serial 35, synthetic NO, window 0x2600001,
root 0x7f, subw 0x0, time 3846424781, (123,66), root:(296,91),
state 0x0, keycode 176 (keysym 0x1008ff13, XF86AudioRaiseVolume), same_screen YES,
XKeysymToKeycode returns keycode: 175
XLookupString gives 0 bytes:
XFilterEvent returns: False |
and here is LowerVolume:
| Code: | FocusOut event, serial 35, synthetic NO, window 0x2600001,
mode NotifyGrab, detail NotifyAncestor
FocusOut event, serial 35, synthetic NO, window 0x2600001,
mode NotifyUngrab, detail NotifyPointer
FocusIn event, serial 35, synthetic NO, window 0x2600001,
mode NotifyUngrab, detail NotifyAncestor
KeymapNotify event, serial 35, synthetic NO, window 0x0,
keys: 127 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0
0 0 0 0 0 64 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0
KeyRelease event, serial 35, synthetic NO, window 0x2600001,
root 0x7f, subw 0x0, time 3846426045, (123,66), root:(296,91),
state 0x0, keycode 174 (keysym 0x1008ff11, XF86AudioLowerVolume), same_screen YES,
XLookupString gives 0 bytes:
XFilterEvent returns: False |
Note that the LowerVolume KeyPress gets caught before xev can even see it (generating a volume lowering event which opens up a window, hence all the focus changes). Mute does the same thing as LowerVolume, but RaiseVolume just doesn't seem to get mapped to an action as far as X or KDE is concerned, even though the keysym is properly mapped.
The exact same keyboard works fine on Ubuntu running on my laptop, also running modular X and KDE (either by plugging the keyboard in directly, or over Synergy).
I am using a Logitech Cordless Desktop keyboard, X.org 7.1, and KDE 3.5.5 on a fresh install of Gentoo (although I had the same problem before starting fresh as well).
Thanks for any help,
-steve

I once had a similar problem: Solution was, my gnome silently mapped the key to anther without telling me. Just wander about the key mappings in KDE or X to see, if it' remapped somewhere you don't want to.
As far as I can tell from the xev output it look correct.

Is there a file where these keymappings live? I don't actually have that many keys, and outside of an exhaustive search of all the combinations of modifier keys, I've tried them all.
Thanks,

yes, in gnome you can use gconf...
