Volume keys not working [solved]

[ac_dispatcher]

I am running PClinux and Mandy. I copied my Xmodmap from PClinux to Mandy. Ive used the config and several Distros.

 

I think the commands: XF86AudioRaiseVolume and XF86AudioLowerVolume do not work in Mandriva 2008.

 

Here is the howto Ive used for all my Distros:

I have changed the mapping for several keys to initiate the XF86Audio... function - ones that worked as let say "s" just minuted before.

 

I also opened up my kcontrol >> Regional >> Keyboard shortcuts - then selected a new function - hit custom button then hit my volume up. It identified it as "XF86AudioRaiseVolume" so I know the key code is sending the command but it does nothing. Anyone have some input on how I can fix this? thanks.

 

fyi : I use the same xorg and Xmodmap in both PCLinux and Mandy. Mandy is the only distro so far that the volume buttons dont work on.

Am I missing a package?

 

[acdispatcher@dfilan Kmenu]$ xmodmap -pke | grep XF86Audio
keycode 144 = XF86AudioPrev
keycode 153 = XF86AudioNext
keycode 160 = XF86AudioMute
keycode 162 = XF86AudioPlay
keycode 164 = XF86AudioStop
keycode 174 = XF86AudioLowerVolume
keycode 176 = XF86AudioRaiseVolume

 

Prev / Play / Next / Stop / Mute all work - volume doesnt

Happened to me either on 2007.1. It seems that there are some old KDE bugs that are not corrected from version to version ...

Ok for some odd reason I found what fixed it for me:

 

I opened kcontrol (Control Center)

 

Selected: Regional & Accessibility >> Input Actions >> Mentor Office Wireless Keyboard

 

 

I selected Decrease volume then Keyboard Shortcut - it was the XF86 key but I reset it to something else I dont use - say F11.

 

I did the same with Increase volume and set it to F12.

 

Relogged so my xmodmap what reset and - fixed
