Hi, Maybe this is interesting for people with a Logitech Itouch or Cordless keyboard that is equipped with a dozen extra keys for controlling audio and internet related things. I'm using a cordless keyboard, XFree86 4.01 and the sawfish window manager (debian unstable).
First step is to configure X so that it knows about the extra keys. This version of X already comes with some knowledge about them so we just have to enable it. In the XF86Config file, XkbModel to "logicordless" (or "itouch"). Restart X. You can now check whether it works or not by using the 'xev' utility: while running it, you should see things like "XF86Standby" in its output when pressing the "sleep" key. Second step is to go to the shortcuts section of the sawfish configuration in the gnome control panel. Using "add" and "grab", I entered the following shortcuts: XF86AudioLowerVolume -> Run shell command: amixer set Master 1- XF86AudioRaiseVolume -> Run shell command: amixer set Master 1+ XF86AudioPlay -> Run shell command: xmms -u XF86AudioNext -> Run shell command: xmms -f XF86AudioPrev -> Run shell command: xmms -r XF86AudioStop -> Run shell command: xmms -s XF86Standby -> Gnome logout XF86Mail -> Run shell command: evolution XF86HomePage -> Run shell command: gnome-moz-remote --newwin "" XF86Search -> Run shell command: gnome-moz-remote --newwin "http://www.gnome.org"; I left the mute key out, as I haven't found a way yet to actually toggle it on and off (I know you can mute it with amixer set Master mute and unmute with amixer set Master unmute, but you'd need an extra script to have it toggling between those values). Cheers, Remco. PS It Works For Me (tm) :-)
