I was wondering a similar question. There are many keys in my laptop with "NoSymbol", for example the "Volume Up" key is: KeyPress event, serial 32, synthetic NO, window 0x2000001, root 0x59, subw 0x0, time 3072717986, (-333,367), root:(639,399), state 0x0, keycode 176 (keysym 0x0, NoSymbol), same_screen YES, XLookupString gives 0 bytes: XmbLookupString gives 0 bytes: XFilterEvent returns: False Is it possible to bind those keys to something?
