Percy, I did again as you sayd and now: 1) the modifications to the file 30-keymap-acer.fdi only take effects (after hal restarting as you suggested) for "Media key" but not for euro or dollar keys (I also tested these symbols with the pagup and pagedown as you did but with no success). 2) the xbindkeys modifications seem not to take effects (pressing pause/play, stop, next and previous keys, after having launched rhythmbox and playing some songs, nothing happens).

Hi Marco, > - the modifications to the file 30-keymap-acer.fdi didn't take effects I think you have to restart hal. > - I didn't find the xbindkeys package in the Intrepid repos (in Ubuntu they are present) Sorry, not sure what you mean but I just started Synaptic on Intrepid and there is a package xbindkeys. Also remember that you need the xinput-workaround to map the mediakeys to different buttons before xbindkeys will work. -- does not recognize multimedia keys, euro and dollar key on Acer Aspire https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/90687 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Percy, I tried your workaround on Intrepid but: - the modifications to the file 30-keymap-acer.fdi didn't take effects (after changing the file I restarted the keyboard-setup service and then I restarted X as I couldn't reboot the machine seen that I used an Intrepid live) - I didn't find the xbindkeys package in the Intrepid repos (in Ubuntu they are present) so I couldn't test the rhythmbox tips (have you downloaded this package directly from its www site?) -- does not recognize multimedia keys, euro and dollar key on Acer Aspire https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/90687 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 90687] Re: does not recognize multimedia keys, euro and dollar key on Acer Aspire
Marco, one more thing about the xbindkeys: this will only work if you manage to setup the mediakeys so that they simulate mouse buttons 17-20. That's what the 'b:' means in the .xbindkeysrc. You can manage this on Hardy with changes to xorg.conf or on Intrepid with the xinput- workaround. -- does not recognize multimedia keys, euro and dollar key on Acer Aspire https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/90687 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 90687] Re: does not recognize multimedia keys, euro and dollar key on Acer Aspire
Hi Marco, sorry, my suggestions were for Intrepid, for Hardy you should follow the complete instructions at the above mentioned forum thread. There are some changes you have to make to your xorg.conf in Hardy that are no longer possible in Intrepid because of the very minimal xorg.conf. That's why you need the xinput-workaround on Intrepid. The workaround with the .fdi-file is also only valid for Intrepid or at least it was not necessary for Hardy... -- does not recognize multimedia keys, euro and dollar key on Acer Aspire https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/90687 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 90687] Re: does not recognize multimedia keys, euro and dollar key on Acer Aspire
Percy, your suggestions don't work for me (Ubuntu Hardy Heron on Acer Aspire 5920). About the acrace, euro and dollar keys, I tested all you sayd in 30-keymap-acer.fdi, and then I rebooted, but nothing happened. To say the truth in the default file of my Hadry there already is the entry related to euro and dollar keys e033:euro e034:dollar but they don't work. Is there a way to debug the key mapping? About the multimedia keys, I created the ~/.xbindkeysrc as you suggested. I downloaded xbindkeys package and the I added it to gnome session startup, but nothing happened at the X restart. I made a debug of xbindkeys launching it from command line: displayName = :0.0 rc file = /home/marco/.xbindkeysrc rc guile file = /home/marco/.xbindkeysrc.scm getting rc guile file /home/marco/.xbindkeysrc.scm.

About the arcade, euro and dollar keys: You have to edit the file /usr/share/hal/fdi/information/10freedesktop/30-keymap-acer.fdi to get them working. I must admit I mapped euro and dollar to page up and down as it makes more sense for me but there should be a way to get euro and dollar instead when needed. Here is what I have added to and changed in the above file: e012:f24 e033:pageup e034:pagedown This way I can use the arcade key to start Rhythmbox and use the e-Key for something different... About the media keys: I did not map them to a function or command using the keyboard settings but instead created a file ~/.xbindkeysrc containing: "rhythmbox-client --play-pause" b:17 "rhythmbox-client --pause" b:18 "rhythmbox-client --previous" b:19 "rhythmbox-client --next" b:20 Then I added a new entry in Gnome sessions which just contains the command 'xbindkeys' to get the file loaded on start up. Please take a look at this thread http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=517156 there is also an example for Amarok at point 15.

[Bug 90687] Re: does not recognize multimedia keys, euro and dollar key on Acer Aspire
Another clarification about my first comment: In fact I sayd the the multimedia keys change the light when "pressed", after passing the workaround (xinput). To say the truth these keys change the light also before the workaround. So this property isn't associable to the workaround. -- does not recognize multimedia keys, euro and dollar key on Acer Aspire https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/90687 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
