Unfortunately, the patch to gnome-settings-daemon didn't get in soon enough to make the raring release, and we're past feature freeze. But at the same time, we also don't have a new enough x11proto-core to use the XF86MicMute keysym anyway. The first version that works is xproto-7.0.24, released on March 29th, and the latest version debian has is 7.0.23.
In any case, I've created a PPA that allows intersted people to try the new functionality present in g-s-d (using F20). Please only proceed if you are confident in what you're doing. If you're using a thinkpad, the first thing you need to do is edit your /lib/udev/keymaps/module-lenovo file so that 'micmute' is 'f20', since we will be using f20 for that key. Other laptops already have proper udev keymap files. The second thing is to make sure keycode 198 is maped to 'F20' as far as X is concerned. This is easily done with xmodmap -e "keycode 198 = F20" To make it permant, edit your ~/.Xmodmap file And finally install gnome-settings-daemon from the PPA: https://launchpad.net/~jm-leddy/+archive/micmute https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Xmodmap -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/408903 Title: Does not handle microphone mute button (KEY_MICMUTE) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/oem-priority/+bug/408903/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
