Ive got a Microsoft Egronomic 4000 and i want to get its volume, mute, play puase buttons working (and if possible id like to remap my back and foward button to previous track and next track). I tried Lineak but im getting make errors and lineak development hasnt been up since 2006 so i give up on that.
Any suggestions for ways to get my buttons working?
Normally, it's just a matter of setting the correct XkbModel name in you /etc/X11/xorg.conf (or the hal 10-keymap.fdi file if you're using 13.0) to get the multimedia keys working. Is there not an appropriate model listed for your keyboard when you run through xorgsetup?
