This problem already has to be dealt with in brightness control, so I'd just send the keys. FWIW, it turns out that slaving the volume keys to the master volume actually works surprisingly well - it's not "correct", but it's pretty close to the expected behaviour for the user. Sending the keys means it's easy to add information to hal and then update the existing code to take advantage of that, and doesn't really break any existing code. -- Matthew Garrett | mjg59@xxxxxxxxxxxxx ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by DB2 Express Download DB2 Express C - the FREE version of DB2 express and take control of your XML.
