I have the same keyboard, and am part way through setting this up. Start by looking at: man xmodmap man xev 'xmodmap -pke' enables you to view the current keyboard mappings. 'xev' enables you find out what keycodes the media keys generate. The key mappings are normally set in ~/.xmodmaprc, but I currently set then in .xsession. For example, for xmms I use: xmodmap -e "keycode 144 = z" # previous track What I haven't taken the time to figure out is how to use the keysym database (XKeysymDB - man xmodmap). For example: xmodmap -e "keycode 144 = XF86AudioPrev" xmodmap -e "keycode 162 = XF86AudioPlay XF86AudioPause" Jeff To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
