I have the following keycodes in .xmodmaprc keycode 164 = XF86AudioStop keycode 137 = XF86Eject keycode 162 = XF86AudioPause keycode 160 = XF86AudioStop keycode 153 = XF86AudioNext keycode 144 = XF86AudioPrev keycode 174 = XF86AudioLowerVolume keycode 176 = XF86AudioRaiseVolume keycode 160 = XF86AudioMute Please check those values with xev(1). You would then have to assign specific commands to these keys with the help of your window manager. Funny side note: The brightness up/down combo does NOT generate any kind of keycode ... BUT when I turn the brightness up or down while xpdf(1) has the focus, xpdf(1) will enter an infinite refresh loop and needs to be killed. Very strange ....
