xbindkeys works great for me. I think its a better solution just on the basis that its versatile, and isn't limited to the 'extra' keys. I.e. you can bind arbitrary commands to the multimedia keys, and "ctrl+alt+x", etc....
It lacks cute knowlege of the different keyboard types and enumerations of their special keys. But it works just great if you create a new entry, click capture, hit your special key of choice, name it, then specify a command line. It is also a fairly mature package (been cranking out new releases regularly for over a year). The only downside I've noticed, is that compared to the hotkeys(tm) package (which is also 'mostly' limited to multimedia keys), that xbindkeys does not work when X is in fullscreen DGA mode (xmame fullscreen). Somehow hotkeys(tm) worked for me even then. -dmc Guillaume Cottenceau wrote: >"Cosmic Flo" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> writes: > > > >>Finally, it's not a bug : >>Here a message from a developer of the project team : >> >>"Unfortunately, lineakconfig 0.1 is not compatible with lineakd 0.3, >>due to different file format... as the release notes already state. >>lineakconfig 0.2 is in development and will be compatible with lineakd 0.3 >> >> > >They are stupid.. their package `lineakconfig' needs `lineakd' to >work, but latest version of `lineakd' doesn't work with latest >version of `lineakconfig', and no configure script states so, >same for program startup.. > > > >>In the mean time, either use lineakconfig in conjunction with lineakd 0.2 >>or use lineak 0.3 but configure the keys with a text editor." >> >> > >Time will flow until I have enough motivation to test again their >program :-).
