Multimedia keys / key bindings not working [FIXED]
Posted: Mon Feb 23, 2009 11:50 am
i dont know where exactly to post this, so i thought this would be the best place.
Hello, i'm just having this problem, i think i didnt install anything new, so im confused.
I tested the following:
Things that WORK:
-Copy, paste, cut (ctrl+c/v/x)
-Switching to another tty (ctrl+alt+F1~7)
-Rotating the cube in Compiz Fusion (ctrl+alt+drag with mouse)
-Switching windows in Compiz Fusion (Alt/Super/ctrl+tab)
-Volume up/down (multimedia keys)
-Special Characters (Alt gr + key [þø→↓←ŧ¶€ł@~łĸjħŋđðßæµn”“¢»«])
Things that DOESN'T WORK:
-Play/pause (multimedia keys)
-Previous/next (multimedia keys)
-Stop (multimedia keys)
-Mute (multimedia keys)
-Lock (Ctrl+alt+L)
and i really miss the mm keys, because im used to skip track without focusing the player (i tested in banshee and amarok, none of them were working), and the "lock" key, because i usually lock the computer before leaving unattended.
i tried to boot into kernel 2.6.27-7-generic and kernel 2.6.27-11-generic, none of them were working. I tried to use KDE instead of Gnome, not working. I tried to reboot, not working. I tried to log in as a different user, not working. I tried to re-associate again the key bindings, still not working.
So I'm getting a bit crazy with all this, and i would like to fix this without reinstalling Mint (xD, that's what i used to do when things weren't working and i had no idea.)
And again, sorry for my poor english.
