Hello everybody!
I have a Genius multimedia keyboard and I would like to know how could I use this "multimedia keys". Genius does not offer drivers for this keyboard under linux. I would like to use, for example, the browser launcher key or the email client key...
Thanks in advance.
Alberto.

if you are using gnome you can try acme or but i dont like it while i can't configure it like i would like to so i use hotkeys (the attached file is the config file for my genius keyboard). for the homepages of the programs look at freshmeat.net you can install acme also by using _apt-get install acme _
