Hi,
I'm trying to attach the Fn-VolumeUp and Fn-VolumeDown of my Dell laptop to the volume up and volume down action in acme. The problem is that my Debian set up does not get an event when Fn combined with another key is pressed. I.e. if I launch showkey -s in a console no key codes are shown when I press Fn + volumeup or volumedown.
It should be possible to get this keyevents because if I run the Gnoppix live CD showkey -s shows the key codes for the Fn combinations
So my obvious question how do I get this working in Debian??
2 steps:
- Check the kernel for Dell Keyboard (CONFIG_I8K=y)
The Debian 2.4.25 kernel package doesn't have this enabled :( So I installed the 2.6.4 kernel which has this enabled, and now it works :-)
- apt-get install i8kutils
This is not necessary in my case, I just needed to get the scancodes when the Fn combos are used. I then used acme to tie the keys to the actions I wanted and therefore do not need the utils
Thanks for your help
Jaap
