I definitely do get responses from those keys in the Gnome keyboard shortcut preferences, and xev too. The keyboard does something. The problem is in getting other things to pay attention to them. I can use the same buttons for *some* other things, for instance I can assign any of them to open a new terminal, and that works. But the audio mixer doesn't, nor any media players - I've tried mplayer, xmms, rhythmbox and vlc. I even tried to see if the back and forward buttons had any effect on web browser navigation in Firefox and Opera, or file system navigation in Nautilus. -- [tim@bigblack ~]$ uname -ipr 2.6.22.1-33.fc7 i686 i386 Using FC 4, 5, 6 & 7, plus CentOS 5.
