If not installed KDE does not start kmix when the volume-keys are used, neither does it change the volume or mute/unmute and provide an OSD. Why should only laptops need to use volume-keys with kmix? -- 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, or are watching someone who is.

https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=219919 ------- Comment #4 from sven.burmeister@gmx.net 2006-11-15 13:41 MST ------- Kmix was not started after my fresh install of beta2. The user should not have to start it, that's why there is kmilo. I tested my Volume key without kmilo running, nothing happens, with kmilo running, it works. I think that before kmilo one could assign keys to kmix manually, yet why should one have to do that just to save some kb, i.e. not install kmilo by default? Especially since desktop users usually have to worry less about harddisk-space than laptop users. Or to ask the other way around, what harm does it do to install kmilo by default? Pros: - kmix started automatically - volume-keys handled automatically (even for Logitech keyboards) no need to manually assign keys to kmix - On screen display, i.e. visual feedback when changing volume un/mute Cons: - uses some kbs Did I forget something? -- 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, or are watching someone who is.
