In KDE, if you are seeing an OSD for the volume, then kmix is not getting the keystrokes: they are being caught by the little-known kmilo. Unfortunately, I do not know what kmilo does with them except that it does not work. If you disable the kmilo service then kmix will receive the keystrokes, but some other "special" buttons (like Fn-F4) will stop working. Additionally, I found that the mute button was not detected by kmix, even when trying to set a shortcut; it does show up with xev, though, so something else must be intercepting it. I suspect the volume issue is really a bug in thinkpad-acpi, which does not seem to have kept pace with the newer thinkpads, though it may be a kmilo or kmilo_thinkpad bug-there's no documentation for either and I've not had time to try to read the source to figure out what they're actually doing. As a side note, I found that /proc/acpi/ibm/volume did absolutely nothing with the X61s, indicating either it does not have a hardware mixer (like some of the earlier R series) or that thinkpad-acpi doesn't know enough about it. Did you have this working with this particular laptop under 10.2? Does direct usage of /proc/acpi/ibm/volume do anything for you? It may also be worth trying the latest thinkpad-acpi, which I mean to do as soon as I have time. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

Additionally, it fixed some other thinkpad-related problems, presumably because of a merge from thinkpad-acpi. I do not know if running a KOTD is preferable to disabling kmilo, but it is an option at least. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
