Have been trying to set up some multimedia keys with E17 and have them
working, however can't get them going automatically in the boot/login
process.
I have entrance/e17 cvs'd on a gentoo system.
- Have set up the keys with appropriate actions in e17 using
enlightenment_remote -binding-key-add
on the keysyms XF86LowerVolume, XF86RaiseVolume and XF86AudioMute.
- I can then manually run "xmodmap ~/.Xmodmap" which sets up
keycode->keysyms relationships for the three buttons representing
XF86Audio*.
- Finally I manually run "enlightenment_remote -restart".
At this stage its working. To get it working during the e17 login, I've
tried a few things
1) Adding a line to my Session script for Entrance
#!/bin/bash
exec xmodmap /home/snorri/.Xmodmap > /home/snorri/xmod.log &
exec /usr/bin/enlightenment
This fails - the log file says it has set up the keysyms, but once inside
e17 all settings are forgotten (xmodmap -pk shows nothing had been done
for the multimedia keys)
2) Running the xmodmap command as a startup eapp in
~/.e/e/applications/startup
Can't seem to get this working as an eapp based strictly on a non-gui
script, but can get it to activate if running as a command (bash script)
that has been passed to an eapp for a terminal (like gnome-terminal,
Eterm). Once e17 has finished setting up, the log file says everything's
been done, "xmodmap -pk" lists the keycodes as having been set up
correctly, but e17 fails to bind the XF86Audio* keys unless I manually do
an "enlightenment_remote -restart". I've also tried adding the restart to
the bash script without success, though attempts in that direction start
seeming like a really ugly hack :)
So, has anybody else tried this? Is it a problem with e17, entrance...or
me(!) perhaps? Think I might set up gdm and see if that works which will
rule out one of the possibilities...but will have to leave that for the
weekend.
Cheers,
Daniel.
