Hi all,

I want to assign keysym for particular keycode. I used the command 'xmodmap -e "keycode 132 = AudioStop" for stopping the audio in command prompt. keycode 132 is not already assigned and i knew it using the commad 'xmodmap -pk'. Im having the following line in my XkeysymDB file,
#define XF86XK_AudioStop 0x1008FF15
andso i used AudioStop as keysym here. But it was not assigned and the following error produced,

sh-3.00# xmodmap -e "keycode 132 = AudioStop"
xmodmap: commandline:1: bad keysym name 'AudioStop' in keysym list
xmodmap: 1 error encountered, aborting.

I want to know is there wrong in my assigning keysym value? How to add new keysym values to the keycodes which is not assigned in xmodmap?

Hi,

I used setkeycodes command for assigning keycodes for the keys with the scancode i got from 'showkey -s' command. After assigning the keycodes i checked the output with 'showkey -k' command and 'xev' command. In 'showkey -k' command i got the output keycodes as what as assigned. But using xev command, some keys takes keycodes of the already assigned keys.If i try to change that keycode both of the keys got affected. How can i change the particular keycode?
