Hi,
The section about 'inspiron' multimedia keys in file
/usr/share/X11/symbols/inet is:
partial alphanumeric_keys
xkb_symbols "inspiron" {
key <I02> { [ XF86AudioStop ] };
key <I04> { [ XF86AudioNext ] };
key <I10> { [ XF86AudioPrev ] };
key <I19> { [ XF86AudioNext ] };
key <I20> { [ XF86AudioMute ] };
key <I21> { [ XF86Eject ] };
key <I22> { [ XF86AudioPlay, XF86AudioPause ] };
key <I24> { [ XF86AudioStop ] };
key <I2E> { [ XF86AudioLowerVolume ] };
key <I30> { [ XF86AudioRaiseVolume ] };
key <NFER> { [ XF86AudioPrev ] };
key <XFER> { [ XF86AudioPlay, XF86AudioPause ] };
};
This introduces duplicate entries for symbols XF86AudioStop, XF86AudioNext,
XF86AudioPrev, XF86AudioPlay and XF86AudioPause. As a result, launching xev and
pressing, e.g., key Play/Pause results in the following output:
KeyPress event, serial 32, synthetic NO, window 0x1a00001,
root 0x5c, subw 0x0, time 2924632689, (168,179), root:(221,230),
state 0x0, keycode 162 (keysym 0x1008ff14, XF86AudioPlay), same_screen YES,
XKeysymToKeycode returns keycode: 129
XLookupString gives 0 bytes:
XmbLookupString gives 0 bytes:
XFilterEvent returns: False
KeyRelease event, serial 32, synthetic NO, window 0x1a00001,
root 0x5c, subw 0x0, time 2924632852, (168,179), root:(221,230),
state 0x0, keycode 162 (keysym 0x1008ff14, XF86AudioPlay), same_screen YES,
XKeysymToKeycode returns keycode: 129
XLookupString gives 0 bytes:
(notice the 'XKeysymToKeycode returns keycode: 129' line) and X11 clients do
not handle correctly the corresponding symbols (for instance fluxbox misses
those keypresses).
Removing duplicate entries as follows:
partial alphanumeric_keys
xkb_symbols "inspiron" {
key <I10> { [ XF86AudioPrev ] };
key <I19> { [ XF86AudioNext ] };
key <I20> { [ XF86AudioMute ] };
key <I21> { [ XF86Eject ] };
key <I22> { [ XF86AudioPlay, XF86AudioPause ] };
key <I24> { [ XF86AudioStop ] };
key <I2E> { [ XF86AudioLowerVolume ] };
key <I30> { [ XF86AudioRaiseVolume ] };
};
solved this problem on my Inspiron 6400. The output of xev becomes
KeyPress event, serial 29, synthetic NO, window 0x1a00001,
root 0x5c, subw 0x0, time 2924325407, (29,-11), root:(82,40),
state 0x0, keycode 162 (keysym 0x1008ff14, XF86AudioPlay), same_screen
YES,
XLookupString gives 0 bytes:
XmbLookupString gives 0 bytes:
XFilterEvent returns: False
KeyRelease event, serial 32, synthetic NO, window 0x1a00001,
root 0x5c, subw 0x0, time 2924325566, (29,-11), root:(82,40),
state 0x0, keycode 162 (keysym 0x1008ff14, XF86AudioPlay), same_screen
YES,
XLookupString gives 0 bytes:
and fluxbox catches audio keys correctly.
Cheers,
