-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi all. As you might have guessed from my previous few posts, I am installing debian on a compaq laptop, that like lots of other compaq laptops, controls the speaker volume via buttons on the front of the machine, rather then via a simple knob. Anyway, using showkey, the buttons don't register, however, I was able to find some stuff on the web which indicates that while the buttons don't work in the text console, they do work to control the volume using something called acme under gnome. I wasn't planning to install gnome on this system, however, I do have the two windows keys, which are useless under gnu/linux, at least when it comes to their original purpose. I do know that it is possible to control the volume in mplayer using the 9 and 0 keys to bring it down or up respectively. So, I was wondering if anyone knows how mplayer does what it does to control the volume, and if it would be possible to map this functionality to raise or lower the volume via the two windows keys from any application running on the system, not just mplayer? Thanks in advance again.
