 This works, but not when the screen is locked. How can I get this setup to

Thats a loaded question. If the screen is locked then should it still be
able to accept keystrokes? You almost had me, nice trick ... nice.

How to bind keys to commands, through X11 or GDM

2007-09-10 Thread Masatran, R. Deepak 
I want to bind some keys to commands, for listening to music. I use MPD as
music server, and Sonata as music client. How can I get the key-bindings to
work through the screen-saver? I am using Debian 4.0, with Xorg, GDM,
XScreenSaver, and Sawfish.

I made /etc/X11/Xmodmap with contents:

keycode 151 = XF86AudioPlay
keycode 159 = XF86AudioStop
keycode 178 = XF86AudioPrev
keycode 236 = XF86AudioNext

and HOME/.xbindkeysrc with contents:

mpc toggle
XF86AudioPlay

mpc stop
XF86AudioStop

mpc prev
XF86AudioPrev

mpc next
XF86AudioNext

This works, but not when the screen is locked. How can I get this setup to work
through the screen-saver? Thanks!
