igotnoluck Posted December 29, 2007 Report Share Posted December 29, 2007 Hi, i just got my new MX 3200 keyboard / mouse and i set down and tried to configure the multimedia keys after a lot of time (i'm a newb) and by using and defining the lineak software most of the functions i want work great but still some stuff i can't understand: 1. there are some keys which i can't see in xev (like "voip answer" or "voip hangup") 2. some different keys give me the same keycode 3. how can i activate the show desktop command by shell ? now i'll try to make the etxra buttons on my mouse work :) thanks, noluck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lavaeolus Posted December 29, 2007 Report Share Posted December 29, 2007 there are progs like klineakd, acme and the like that may help you with your multimedia-keys, for the mouse I think imwheel might help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lavaeolus Posted December 29, 2007 Report Share Posted December 29, 2007 sorry, seems I didn't read your first post carefully enough, you always wrote it. don't know how to make them "visible", if they don't give keycodes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
