[Solved] Re: Multimedia/Volume Keys Not Working

Hi Facundo, Thanks for that. I did actually try xbindkeys before, and I was sure my config was correct, but obviously I was wrong: I didn't point at the card like you did (with -c0) and think there's where I went wrong as everything else in your rc file is identical to my .xbindkeysrc. Thanks aga

Multimedia/Volume Keys Not Working

2013-02-11 Thread Harvey Kelly
Hi everyone, Running Wheezy and the multimedia/volume keys don't work in Windowmaker (they work fine with Gnome and Xfce4), nor from the console. Using xev, it seems they've been mapped correctly (from an Arch wiki page I ran this command): xev | grep -A2 --line-buffered '^KeyRelease' | sed -n '
