No, I think the buttons should generate KEY_VOLUMEUP, KEY_VOLUMEDOWN and KEY_MUTE. Hal can then be given an fdi file that tells it that the Thinkpad mixer works independently of userspace (like we already do for brightness) and userspace can draw little graphics showing the current mixer volume. On systems which are unaware of this, the worst-case scenario is that pushing the buttons alters both the hardware mixer and the master volume control. This isn't ideal but it also doesn't seem to cause any problems. -- 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.
