Hi all, I would like to ask You, if somebody knows how to activate subj. To be concrete, I have Dell Inspiron 8600, suSE 9.2. My wish is to have a possibility to collect somehow a key with an application. I have seen some tries, but only as kernel module. Thank You
I also have an 8600 :-) Save this file as
.Xmodmap
in your home directory:
<FILE> !! Inspiron 8600 special keys keycode 160 = XF86AudioMute keycode 174 = XF86AudioLowerVolume keycode 176 = XF86AudioRaiseVolume
keycode 162 = XF86AudioPlay keycode 164 = XF86AudioStop keycode 144 = XF86AudioPrev keycode 153 = XF86AudioNext </FILE>
then load it with
xmodmap .Xmodmap
Now in any application, which can assign keycodes, you can use the special keys. Have also a look at khotkeys for funny features. To load the keys automatically save this line as .kde/Autostart/dell.sh and make it executable:
<FILE> xmodmap ~/.Xmodmap </FILE>
And have a look at my homepage :-) http://www.hilzinger.hu/ch/linux.html I will make a big update for 9.3...
