laan97ac Posted December 6, 2005 Report Share Posted December 6, 2005 On my Hp zd8000 laptop there are some extra buttons for quick launch of webbrowser and there is volume control etc. These all work automatically in Windows and can be configured there. In Mandriva 2006, I have not found a tool for configuring these buttons - only some very tricky operations in Konsole to identify them. Is there an easy way to configure these buttons? - GUI based or? [moved from Installing Mandriva by spinynorman] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gul Dukat Posted December 6, 2005 Report Share Posted December 6, 2005 You could try to install KeyTouch which is available through easy urpmi. KeyTouch is a program which allows you to easily configure the extra function keys of your keyboard. This means that you can define, for every individual function key, what to do if it is pressed. When you buy a new keyboard a CD-ROM will probably included. This CD-ROM contains software to configure the extra function keys (the image above shows an example of extra functionkeys) of your keyboard with. The problem however is that most of the times the software is not available for Linux. KeyTouch is the solution to this problem. It allows you to easily configure the extra function keys of your keyboard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ianw1974 Posted December 6, 2005 Report Share Posted December 6, 2005 Go into MCC (System/Configuration/Configure Your Computer). Then select the Hardware option, and you should find an option for your keyboard. You can then choose this, and scroll through the list of Vendors to find your keyboard. Hopefully that will help after you've selected it from the list. You may just be using a Generic Keyboard at the minute, like me! :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
devries Posted December 6, 2005 Report Share Posted December 6, 2005 If you use KDE: open the kde control center, acces, keyboard layout and select your model. With Khotkeys you can configure your keys (als under acces in the KDE control center) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laan97ac Posted December 6, 2005 Author Report Share Posted December 6, 2005 Thanx guys, but I am on a laptop, and no external keyboard, so I guess this "built-in" keyboard does not have a certain model name or the like. it is integrated in the laptop. Works fine, I just miss being able to adjust volume, and use those quicklaunch buttons. I will certainly try keytouch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arctic Posted December 9, 2005 Report Share Posted December 9, 2005 Other thing you might take a look at is "Lineak". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
