 |
|
Hello, i am trying to get the key bindings working for XMMS on Gnome, but i cant.
First of all, i installed the plugin XF86Audio Key Control for XMMS. This requires keys mapped like:
| Code: | xmodmap -e 'keycode 161 = XF86AudioLowerVolume'
xmodmap -e 'keycode 163 = XF86AudioRaiseVolume'
xmodmap -e 'keycode 176 = XF86AudioMute'
xmodmap -e 'keycode 162 = XF86AudioPlay'
xmodmap -e 'keycode 146 = XF86AudioNext'
xmodmap -e 'keycode 164 = XF86AudioPrev'
xmodmap -e 'keycode 160 = XF86AudioStop' |
(keycodes reported are examples).
Unluckily, keys i want to map (special keys on HP Pavilion dv9244ea laptop) have not a keycode.
Well, you say, find the scancode with xev, and associate a free keycode with xmodmap.
The problem is that xev doesn't give a scancode on the press event of these keys.
output of xev (pressing next track key)
| Code: | KeymapNotify event, serial 29, synthetic NO, window 0x0,
keys: 2 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0
0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0
|
output of xev (pressing a "normal" key, F10)
| Code: | KeyPress event, serial 29, synthetic NO, window 0x3400001,
root 0x1a5, subw 0x0, time 1256863135, (961,811), root:(967,886),
state 0x10, keycode 76 (keysym 0xffc7, F10), same_screen YES,
XLookupString gives 0 bytes:
XmbLookupString gives 0 bytes:
XFilterEvent returns: False
KeyRelease event, serial 29, synthetic NO, window 0x3400001,
root 0x1a5, subw 0x0, time 1256863204, (961,811), root:(967,886),
state 0x10, keycode 76 (keysym 0xffc7, F10), same_screen YES,
XLookupString gives 0 bytes:
XFilterEvent returns: False

Gnome, instead, maps these keys with a exadecimal code, example:
I just cant understand why gnome can map these keys, why X cant...
Any help is appreciated, i am just getting crazy, so thanks in advance.

Thanks for help...
I have only a doubt, if I swap to compiz, will these work? They seem to be handled by metacity...
