ac_dispatcher Posted October 17, 2007 Report Share Posted October 17, 2007 (edited) 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: http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_Zboard 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.

ilia_kr Posted October 17, 2007 Report Share Posted October 17, 2007 Happened to me either on 2007.1. It seems that there are some old KDE bugs that are not corrected from version to version ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ac_dispatcher Posted October 20, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 20, 2007 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
