Laptop volume control buttons.

#1 Post by Sizzlechest »

Basically, I am looking for a way to make the volume control buttons on this Compaq V6000. I am running Lucid 5.2.8, which is using Beryl as a window manager. I already know the keycodes from running xev, but I can't manage to bind them.

160 is mute
174 is volume down
176 is volume up

Thank you, anyone who can help.

You must create a text file (Often named as Xmodmap) with redefinitions and load it with xmodmap utility.
Syntax:
Keycode nnn = keysym
For example:
Keycode 123 = XF86AudioLoverVolume
Keycode 124 = XF86AudioRaiseVolume
SUUM CUIQUE.
