check dmesg, it might be sending a unrecognised event.. but be aware im not a expert on these things! or perhaps mute is a different type of button... > > And I discovered my keyboard volume knob also uses that interface. then often do.. you can also use lircd with dev/input driver to read these events, although i think that support has been moved into a separate daemon called inputlircd, at least it has on my gentoo system. i would be interested to hear if you get it working as I have similar devices and have never looked into setting up the buttons. andy > Thanks a lot > > ------------------------------------------------------------------------- > Using Tomcat but need to do more?
