Getting multimedia keys to work with Slackware 13.37

Laxman_prodigy · 08-08-2012, 04:25 AM

Hi.

How would I configure multimedia keys on Slackware 13.37? The keys like increase/decrease, mute volume, and other play/pause/stop music, etc.

Thanks.

On a window manager level (i3) that's what I do on my Lenovo ThinkPad T410 laptop (for increase/decrease/mute volume controls)

Code:

bindsym XF86AudioRaiseVolume exec amixer -q set Master 2dB+ unmute
bindsym XF86AudioLowerVolume exec amixer -q set Master 2dB- unmute
bindsym XF86AudioMute exec amixer -q set Master toggle
