Package: x11-xkb-utils Version: 7.4+1 Severity: important On my laptop with debian lenny ia32, multimedia keys (sound wheel etc) did not work until i did an ugly copy of kubuntu 8.04 workaround.
symptom: when i turn the sound wheel, xev said on debian lenny : state 0x0, keycode 174 (keysym 0x0, NoSymbol), on ubuntu 8.04 : state 0x0, keycode 174 (keysym 0x1008ff11, XF86AudioLowerVolume) further investigations showed how kubuntu 8.04 efficiently solved my problem with 2 files, one system wide configuration for X, and the xmodmap datas. # ------------------------------------------------------ $ cat /etc/X11/Xsession.d/80ubuntu-xmodmap # Set the Ubuntu laptop keycode -> xkeysyms mapping (used by KDE) # # This file is sourced by Xsession(5), not executed. # The "|| true" is to ensure that the Xsession script does not terminate # on error /usr/bin/xmodmap /usr/share/apps/kxkb/ubuntu.xmodmap || true USRMODMAP="$HOME/.Xmodmap" if [ -x /usr/bin/xmodmap ]; then if [ -f "$USRMODMAP" ]; then /usr/bin/xmodmap "$USRMODMAP" || true fi fi # ------------------------------------------------------ $ cat /usr/share/apps/kxkb/ubuntu.xmodmap keycode 229 = XF86Search keycode 235 = XF86MyComputer keycode 236 = XF86Mail keycode 237 = XF86AudioMedia keycode 118 = XF86Music keycode 178 = XF86WWW keycode 161 = XF86Calculator keycode 162 = XF86AudioPause keycode 164 = XF86AudioStop keycode 144 = XF86AudioPrev keycode 153 = XF86AudioNext keycode 160 = XF86AudioMute keycode 174 = XF86AudioLowerVolume keycode 176 = XF86AudioRaiseVolume keycode 230 = XF86Favorites keycode 231 = XF86Refresh keycode 232 = XF86Stop keycode 233 = XF86Forward keycode 234 = XF86Back keycode 223 = XF86Standby keycode 165 = XF86Sleep keycode 204 = XF86Eject keycode 245 = XF86Launch0 keycode 159 = XF86LaunchA keycode 241 = XF86LaunchB keycode 205 = XF86LaunchC keycode 101 = XF86LaunchD keycode 212 = XF86LaunchE keycode 132 = XF86LightBulb # ------------------------------------------------------ Now all my multimedia keys are working (i have no more reason to use ubuntu ;-) The only remaining problem is the huge popup window in the middle of the screen, when ubuntu shows only a tiny one (maybe this is another topic) -- System Information: Debian Release: 5.0 APT prefers stable APT policy: (500, 'stable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.26-1-686 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=fr_FR.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=fr_FR.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages x11-xkb-utils depends on: ii cpp 4:4.3.2-2 The GNU C preprocessor (cpp) ii libc6 2.7-18 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libice6 2:1.0.4-1 X11 Inter-Client Exchange library ii libsm6 2:1.0.3-2 X11 Session Management library ii libx11-6 2:1.1.5-2 X11 client-side library ii libxaw7 2:1.0.4-2 X11 Athena Widget library ii libxkbfile1 1:1.0.5-1 X11 keyboard file manipulation lib ii libxmu6 2:1.0.4-1 X11 miscellaneous utility library ii libxt6 1:1.0.5-3 X11 toolkit intrinsics library ii x11-common 1:7.3+18 X Window System (X.Org) infrastruc x11-xkb-utils recommends no packages. x11-xkb-utils suggests no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-x-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
