The key was recognized correctly in the keyboard shortcut window. I can change it to some other key and then change it back to XF86AudioRaiseVolume . xev gives a reasonable response: KeyPress event, serial 29, synthetic NO, window 0x2800001, root 0x136, subw 0x0, time 3288983755, (340,256), root:(1623,298), state 0x10, keycode 176 (keysym 0x1008ff13, XF86AudioRaiseVolume), same_screen YES, XKeysymToKeycode returns keycode: 175 XLookupString gives 0 bytes: XmbLookupString gives 0 bytes: XFilterEvent returns: False
KeyRelease event, serial 29, synthetic NO, window 0x2800001, root 0x136, subw 0x0, time 3288983755, (340,256), root:(1623,298), state 0x10, keycode 176 (keysym 0x1008ff13, XF86AudioRaiseVolume), same_screen YES, XKeysymToKeycode returns keycode: 175 XLookupString gives 0 bytes: XFilterEvent returns: False it's not a actual key on the keyboard, but a small disk you can rotate. In one direction it gives XF86AudioLowerVolume, on the other it gives XF86RaiseVolume event. The program that actually does the job of adjusting volume somehow failed to recognize this key. ----- Original Message ---- From: Sebastien Bacher <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, September 18, 2006 11:41:23 AM Subject: [Bug 59429] Re: Multimedia key partially working Thanks for your bug. If you use the keyboard shortcut dialog and assign that action to the volume up key again, does the key label change? does it work then? what value do you have for the key event if you use xev? ** Changed in: control-center (Ubuntu) Importance: Untriaged => Low Assignee: (unassigned) => Ubuntu Desktop Bugs Status: Unconfirmed => Needs Info -- Multimedia key partially working https://launchpad.net/bugs/59429 -- Multimedia key partially working https://launchpad.net/bugs/59429 -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
