Hi I've just installed FC2, and immediately upgraded it to yesterday's Rawhide. Apart from a few glinches that I've reported to bugzilla, I'm experiencing a strange bug. My laptop is a Fujitsu/Siemens Lifebook S6210. It doesn't have any hardware way to control the sound volume. So, I tried to change the volume using the "Volume Control" applet, but it failed. I went to the applet's preferences and changed the audio channel from "volume" to "PCM". After that, I could control the volume. Later on, I noticed that my laptop had special keys to control the volume. As expected, they didn't work right out of the box. So, I opened the "keyboard shortcuts" preferences and associated said keys to the "volume mute", "volume down" and "volume up" sound functions. After pressing the keys, a graphic appeared of my screen showing that I was muting, pumping down or pumping up the volume. The only problem is that those functions control the "volume" channel, not the "PCM" channel, and are - consequently - useless for me. So, my questions are: - Why can't I change the volume by controlling the "volume" channel ? Is it a bug that should be filed ? Against which package ? Or is it a hardware limitation that can't be detected ? - Is there a way to change the action of the "volume mute", "volume down", "volume up" keyboard shortcuts so that they control the "PCM" channel instead of "volume" channel. Thanks ! -- Julien Olivier <julo@xxxxxxxxxx>
