Hey all,

I'm running Ubuntu 11.04 and have switched away from the Gnome 2 DE in
favour of lwm and other assorted lightweight window managers etc.


Hello Andrew,

Which Window Manager are you using? LWM is not so configurable afaik.

One thing I'm trying to get working again is the XF86AudioLowerVolume
and XF86AudioRaiseVolume (as detected by xev) hotkeys  on my keyboard
to lower and raise the volume of the default pulseaudio sink by, lets
say, +/-5% (incidentally, I'm having issue with the Monitor brightness
increase key working, but not the down key. Probably better for me to
ask somewhere else about that though).

Should scripting and a suitable keygrabber (lets say, xbindkeys) work
for this kind of stuff, or is there hardcoded gnome2/pulseaudio stuff
going on?


No hardcoded stuff going on and it is scriptable with xbindkeys. But that also depens on which WM you're using. If you can adjust the volume by configuring your WM you save yourself from having to create a script and run an extra daemon.

Thanks,

Andrew.


Best,

Jeremy
