[opensuse] Using multimedia keys with openSUSE 10.2?
Hi, Does anyone know what is need fot the keyboard multimedia keys to work? I have selected a keboard model compatible with my multimedia keyboard. If I open kmix I can configure the special keys "+" and "-" (located on the keyboard top part) of my keyboard to raise and lower the volume respectively (when I press them to configure the shortcuts, it appers XF86AudioRaiseVolume and XF86AudioLowerVolume). However, pressing the configure keys after the configuration is complete does not do anything!!! Running xev, it shows XF86AudioRaiseVolume and XF86AudioLowerVolume when I press the above mentioned keys. This used to work in previous versions, at least in another computer (I didn't try those keys on this oine with the previous SUSE). Ideas?

<snip> Have you tried LinEAK? It comes with SUSE and allows you to graphically configure the keys for many different multimedia keyboards. I've had it running on my laptops as well as on a few different Logitech keyboards. -- kai www.perfectreign.com || www.4thedadz.com a turn signal is a statement, not a request -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Until today I never needed any program to have the multimedia keys working. Having the right keyboard model selected, since KDE comes with the multimedia keys already associated with the proper actions, everything usually works just fine out of the box. And If I needed to configure anything else, I just need to go to the KDE control center and select the shortcuts section. However, there is something quite strange in openSUSE 10.2, has it seems that the sound related keys are somewhat intercepted and not allowed to reach their destination!! The other multimedia keys (like the home folder, the internet one, or even the e-mail one) work normally. Just those I mentioned do not work!!

So no ideas besides installing another application? I am not sure, but probably it is related to this issue as well. A KDE update performed in my 10.1 around last week also made the my laptop multimedia keys stop working. What is rather strange though, is that using for instance Alt+XF86AudioLowerVolume works withtou a problem. This means that it really is some kind of bug. Maybe I will take a look at bugzilla.kde before going go bugzilla.novell. Hugo -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Well, in my SUSE 10.1, I opened kmix, and select none for all the shortcuts that appear when we go to Settings->Configure Global Shortucts and this made all the shortcuts configured by right-clicking on the respective control work, including the Master channel. When I get home I will try to do the same and see if it works on openSUSE 10.2. If it works, than there is no need to use Lineak or tweak xmodmap.

Look for a package called lineak on the install media. Also install the kde extensions. There is a third party app called SVEN which you can Google for. HTH Mike -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
