Hi, I am unable to get the four multimedia keys (Play/Pause, Volume Decrement/Increment, Mute) on my old'ish USB Microsoft Wired Keyboard 600 to respond. I have tried to do my homework by reading man pages, like usbhidaction(1) and usbhidctl(1), and I've been looking at how-tos on the net [1], but to no prevail and I've decided to reach out to misc@ for guidance. dmesg(1) below [2].
This is what I have tried: 1. Identifying key strokes: $ usbhidctl -l -f /dev/uhid0 Consumer_Control.Play/Pause=1 Consumer_Control.No_Event=1 Consumer_Control.0xfe03=0 Consumer_Control.0xfe04=0 Consumer_Control.0xff05=0 Consumer_Control.0xff02=0 Consumer_Control.Unassigned=1 Consumer_Control.No_Event=1 Consumer_Control.0xfe03=0 Consumer_Control.0xfe04=0 Consumer_Control.0xff05=0 Consumer_Control.0xff02=0 [...identical output (except for name) for the other four keys...] 2. usbhidaction(1) configuration file: $ cat ~/.usbhidaction.conf Consumer:Play/Pause 1 mixerctl outputs.master.mute=toggle Consumer:Volume_Decrement 1 mixerctl outputs.master=-8 Consumer:Volume_Increment 1 mixerctl outputs.master=+8 Consumer:Mute 1 mixerctl outputs.master.mute=toggle 3. Executing usbhidaction during xsession or from xterm.. $ usbhidaction -c ~/.usbhidaction.conf -f /dev/uhid0 ..exits without errors but keys are not responding. Bwt: - I used to have a PS/2 keyboard with multi media keys and it was working well with the machine in question. - The current USB keyboard is tested and fully functional on another machine running Windows 7. - None of the multi media keys gets detected by xev(1).
