Ok! I solved it. I just have to make following file:

homedirectory/.kde/Autostart/keycodes

# BEGIN

#!/bin/sh

#This is the file that is going to map my special keys.

#File location: ~/.kde/Autostart

#File Name:keycodes

#This file wil run automatically each time you restart KDE. It assigns a

#keysym to a given keycode

 

 

xmodmap -e 'keycode 176=Prior' #Page Up

xmodmap -e 'keycode 160=BackSpace' #BackSpace

xmodmap -e 'keycode 174=Next' #Page Down

xmodmap -e 'keycode 129=m' #m letter

xmodmap -e 'keycode 164=Up' #Up

xmodmap -e 'keycode 162=Down' #Down

xmodmap -e 'keycode 153=Right' #Right

xmodmap -e 'keycode 144=Left' #Left

# END

and give it permission to execute. Now everything works like it should be!

Hi,

I need help to add actions to my multimedia keys. I installed XEV keymapping tool and get following information:

volume+ (keycode 176) (no keysym)

mute (keycode 160) (no keysym)

volume- (keycode 174) (no keysym)

media (keycode 129) (no keysym)

stop (keycode 164) (no keysym)

rev (keycode 144) (no keysym)

forw (keycode 153) (no keysym)

play/pause (keycode 144) (no keysym)

I dont want add actions like STOP PLAYING.... I just want to add that it works same as putting some alphabetical character like A or B. Thats cause I will teach those keys to work with VDR (video disc recorder) software.

Question is: How I add keysym to the those keys? Keysym should be just normal alphabetical character like A or B.

Here is simple guide to install vdr @ Mandriva

Here is short instructions to VDR @ Mandriva: » Install VDR

The Video Disk Recorder is a Linux program from Klaus Schmidinger. It is used to receive digital TV and radio programs with a Personal Computer. If you wish you can record and play back those recordings at will. Its features include time-shifting and on-disk editing of the recordings.

Like any other hi-fi equipment, VDR can be controlled through remote controls. The user interface is a menu displayed on the television (On Screen Display).

The software is released under the GPL. Everybody can download and use the source code freely. Also there exist many extensions in the form of Plugins and Patches, e.g. a DVD player or a MP3 player.

Two pictures is worth a 2000 words so here is two screenshots from my TV screen.

If someone cannot get dvb drivers of kernel to work u shoud know that:

Official 2.6.8 kernel coming with Mandrake 10.1 does not has new enough dvb drivers, but their 2.6.7 multimedia kernel in contrib has newer dvb drivers which are correctly detected by the udev rules.

To get it work with 2.6.8.1-12mdk Kernel you have to run this patch or use 2.6.7 multimediia kernel.

Can anyone help me, please?!

I have Nec DVD-R(W)+- and works like a dream! B)

I noticed the kernel has already DVB drivers as modules, so

I guess my TT DVB-C 2.1 should be supported without compiling

new DVB drivers. Right?

Here is screenshot about my hardware and dvb-card details:

I try to use Xine to watch TV but I get error: There is no input plugin avaible to handle 'dvb://' ...

What I have to do next? How I load modules?
