Hi there,

I have a problem with the integrated keyboard from my Dell Inspiron 1300. There are some multimedia keys I use to raise, lower and mute sound output. I use pbbuttonsd for that task. This works great and is not the main problem.

The keycodes assigend to the three multimedia keys are 113, 114 and 115. Pressing 115 does not output anything to screen, only pbbuttonsd is triggered. But when pressing 113 and 114 also the '~' character is output to console. Now I want to know how to change this behaviour?

Thanks,
liquid

when it sees them, I have continued to use xbindkeys to intercept media keys and execute media commands like volume up/down/mute

This is no X problem but a problem with the kernel translation table. The keys should also work when NO X-server is started at all. Because of this I'm using pbbuttonsd. I managed to clear the keys through this:
Code:
keycode 113 = VoidSymbol
        shift   keycode 113 = VoidSymbol
        altgr   keycode 113 = VoidSymbol
        control keycode 113 = VoidSymbol
        alt     keycode 113 = VoidSymbol
        shift   control keycode 113 = VoidSymbol
        control alt     keycode 113 = VoidSymbol

Works!
