It doesn't work... ;-) (Sorry, couldn't resist) But being serious, I bought a new keyboard from the evil empire that has a few multimedia buttons on it (Microsoft Comfort Curve Keyboard 2000 v1.0, USB), so I thought I'd have a bash at making use of some of them. Volume controls, at the least, would have been handy, as my speakers have none. If you (or anyone else) uses Gnome on FC7, and has these shortcut keys working, can you have a look in the keyboard shortcuts preferences, and tell me whether yours has different shortcut names for the keys associated with the actions. I'll just list a few. Action Shortcut Volume mute XF86AudioMute Volume down XF86AudioLowerVolume Volume up XF86AudioLowerVolume Play (or play/pause) XF86AudioPlay Skip to previous track XF86Back Skip to next track XF86Forward In the past (FC 3 or 4) I had to play with some keyboard mapping files, creating a custom map for my other keyboard, and set specific names for some keys. There were a few similarly named keys, but applications only paid attention to some of them. Yes, I've logged in and out, rebooted a few times, swore at it, etc. These keys are noticed being pressed by something, as I was able to configure the shortcuts by pressing those keys, and those names appeared in the configuration window. -- [tim@bigblack ~]$ uname -ipr 2.6.22.1-33.fc7 i686 i386 Using FC 4, 5, 6 & 7, plus CentOS 5. Today, it's FC7. Don't send private replies to my address, the mailbox is ignored. I read messages from the public lists.
