Same issue in 12.04 Ubuntu. I would like to see steam games continue to prosper and release more to run on Linux but this is a major issue to my enjoyment of the games!

As mentioned in the Ubuntu bug, some games decide to grab the entire keyboard when running full-screen. This is specified to override everything else and give that client sole, exclusive, use of the keyboard. I'm not sure why they do it, but I'm guessing it's so they can be sure Alt-Tab doesn't accidentally trigger or something, which would be deliberately disabling hotkeys. Anyway, if the game developers tell us there are shortcomings in our input model that we need to fix so they can stop grabbing, we'll be happy to take a look. But for the moment, we're just doing what we're told, which is: grab the keyboard to the absolute exclusion of everyone else.

Considering that pretty much every full-screen game I've played under Linux has suffered from this, I have to believe that it's unintentional on the game developers' part. The fact is that we're now faced with a mountain of applications out there in the wild that are already suffering from this and will realistically never get fixed to use some alternate keyboard grabbing mechanism (assuming such a thing is even supplied by xorg and is neither obscure nor cumbersome to use). It therefore truly, realistically falls to xorg to decide whether or not to do something to resolve this issue that is resulting in a frustrating experience for many, many xorg end- users. Without any knowledge of xorg's internals, I can think of two non-mutually-exclusive general design level ideas that might help alleviate the issue: 1. Some kind of xorg configuration option/mechanism could be provided to allow distribution creators, system administrators and/or end-users to choose to exclude the multimedia keys from the global keyboard grabbing mechanism. 2. Grabbing of multimedia keys could be spun out into a separate xorg API call or parameter (or whatever an xorg analog of that might be) that needs to be explicitly called/specified by the developer to signal that they really, really want to grab and handle those keys. Call this a feature/enhancement request if you'd like (personally, however, I strongly feel that it is much more important than that due to a large impact on end-users) but please don't dismiss it out-of-hand.

So the issue lies with the implementation of keyboard grabbing. Isn't there a better way to make media key control apply less in blanket circumstances such as that? If this isn't in the scope of Xorg's development, hopefully Wayland's design could have this thought in the process. Regardless, it's a pretty nasty bug that wouldn't best be solved by asking

[Bug 388547] Re: Volume keys don't work inside a full-screen game
Leonardo: That's a good idea, but it would never work due to the fact that the entire issue here is that Ubuntu allows apps to take control of the entire keyboard. No special key combinations or multimedia keys are serviced by the window manager when full-screen games are running, so the only key combinations that work are those serviced by the OS and maybe the session manager. The real fix is to mimic the behavior of other OSes in not allowing full-screen applications to completely override the window manager's keyboard handler. Unfortunately this is an X.Org issue, and they're probably never going to fix it because they just don't understand why they should have to. Ubuntu will never be taken seriously as a desktop gaming platform until this is resolved.

There is a workaround for this. I used to use this on Debian with a small set of packages.

Use acpi_listen to discover your key codes and write a script like this (for example when pressing volume up): amixer set Master 5+ This is more ALSA related, but pulseaudio will adjust its volume as well. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/388547 Title: Volume keys don't work inside a full-screen game To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/hundredpapercuts/+bug/388547/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

I confirm this bug. Really annoying. The solution should be as close to the hardware as possible, so no aplication have ability to lock it. For example , when I push volume up button in my laptop - information of pressing the key is processen in very deep level, and volume changes - no aplication, is informed about pressing any key at all. - informing apropriate system component about volume change, needed for example to notify-osd window about volume change. Example is very simple and maybe not very correct, but the point is: - processing such keys in deep level of system. This would solve bug #344978 as well, and help avoid other similar bugs . Basicly volume control buttons should work like ( or almost like ) completely analog hardware potentiometer connected directly to laptop speakers.

Re: [Bug 388547] Re: Volume keys don't work inside a full-screen game
So it is a limitation of X.org? I think that we have 2 types of fullscreen apps here: - Fake fullscreen: Wine apps, Firefox, Totem. They don't grab the keyboard. Basically, they hide the window decoration and fill the screen with the window. - True fullscreen: Games. They grab the keyboard control, so Gnome can't do anything. If an app like this crashes, you can't even call System Monitor to kill it (like ctrl + alt + del in Windows). Would be nice if the Games had the same behaviour than the other programs.
