Disable handling multimedia keys by Xserver

Hi there,
i've got problem with multimedia keys. Yes, i want disable it. Earlier(some time ago) i had my own handling scripts in acpi, that were using acpi_fakekey known from debian/ubuntu, to generate key action in Xserver. Some day, i have seen, that keys behave like be double pushed, so i disabled my scripts and everything was ok until, i've decided to use mpd to play music, and now i want to execute mpc client to play/pause directly from acpi by scripts. I hope i wrote it so You can understand me... Question is how to disable asus extra buttons
From Xorg.log
(**) Asus Laptop extra buttons: always reports core events
(**) Asus Laptop extra buttons: Device: "/dev/input/event2"
(II) Asus Laptop extra buttons: Found 1 mouse buttons
(II) Asus Laptop extra buttons: Found keys
(II) Asus Laptop extra buttons: Configuring as keyboard
(**) Asus Laptop extra buttons: YAxisMapping: buttons 4 and 5
(**) Asus Laptop extra buttons: EmulateWheelButton: 4, EmulateWheelInertia: 10, EmulateWheelTimeout: 200
(II) XINPUT: Adding extended input device "Asus Laptop extra buttons" (type: KEYBOARD)
(**) Option "xkb_rules" "evdev"
(**) Option "xkb_model" "evdev"
(**) Option "xkb_layout" "pl"
All input device handled by hal.
I think i should somehow disable device in hal(by some tricky conf in /etc/hal/fdi/policy/file.fdi) or disable this device to Xserver.
Please help.

Ok, I've taken a look at 'System Settings -> Input actions' and there is nothing in there that relates to multimedia keys. The only actions configured are the default Konqueror gestures and printscreen. Is that a problem? Should I set the inputs there? Should the config from .Xmodmap not supercede any KDE configuration? If not, how should I configure calls like 'XF86AudioStop', etc. that are software independent in the KDE input mapper?
Sorry about all those questions, btw.

  • ITunes 7.1.1 only partially fixes multimedia keys

    Well... after all the hassle we had before; http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=881133
    It appears that iTunes developers have adressed part of the problem with the multimedia keys in 7.1.1. Now the play/pause, stop, forward, and reverse buttons work well, even when iTunes is minimized to the systray.
    However, the volume buttons are still hosed. Whenever iTunes isn't the "top window", or window in focus and I press mute it still mutes the system, then quickly unmutes it again. The same for pressing the up and down volume. When iTunes is in focus it will only increase the volume by 1 notch. When iTunes isn't in focus it increases or decreases the volume by two notches.
    What would really be nice is if there were a checkbox in the preferences section to completely disable iTunes multimedia key support.
    Still a bad day for me, so I'm going back to 7.02 again.

    WOOOOHOOOO!!!!! I Finally found a way to fix this issue! After playing around with the iTunesKeyboardCompatibility.dll a while I think I got it working again for me.
    Here's the situation. Most of you know that if you remove the iTunesKeyboardCompatibility.dll the program will just recreate it when you try to launch iTunes again.
    Some of you know that if you delete the iTunesKeyboardCompatibility.dll and recreate an empty file with the same name iTunes will complain that it's not a valid windoze file... ya ya ya... whatever.
    SO this gets me to thinking.... the mmkeys.dll is a valid windoze dll file. What would happen if we took the mmkeys.dll and renamed it to iTunesKeyboardCompatibility.dll?
    Alas.... SUCCESS!!!! At least for me on my machine. I can't speak for anyone else. Hope this helps guys.

  • Qosmio X300 - How to disable the beep-sound of the Multimedia keys?

    I've now tried quite long and looked through the net for one thing:
    How do I disable the sound of the multimedia keys above the keyboard? I just find the beep-sounds unbelievable disturbing.

    You must enter BIOS and search for option name something like BEEP SOUND or something similar and change to DISABLED. I can't tell where exactly this option is, because my laptop is away from me ;)
    Hope it helps.

  • How can I stop iTunes from using my multimedia keys on my keyboard?

    I use the multimedia keys on my keyboard for WinAmp, which is my primary music player.  When iTunes is open it hijacks every one of them.  WinAmp has options to enable and disable the use of global hotkeys and multimedia keys.  iTunes does not seem to.  Is there really no way to get iTunes to stop taking control of my keys?  I am using Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit, for the record.

    Yep.  Don't manually manage.

    Thank's

    Register an event filter and consume the event before it gets processed by the list view. Specifically for page down it can look like this:
    listView.addEventFilter(KeyEvent.ANY, new EventHandler<KeyEvent>() {
        @Override public void handle(KeyEvent event) {
            if (event.getCode() == KeyCode.PAGE_DOWN) {

  • Changevol - volume management (good for binding multimedia keys)

    I wrote this script to work with my laptop's multimedia keys. It requires python, pygtk, and alsa-utils. It is a non-interactive program that modifies the volume and then pops up a little gui notifier similar to programs like keytouch (but much simpler and less bloated). It was designed to work by binding multimedia keys (using programs like xbindkeys or any WM's/DE's keybinding apps) to the script and that is probably the only real convenient use.
    Here is what it looks like (pops up in the middle of the desktop on top of everything else). Don't worry about the color of the bar and such, it is programmed with gtk2, so it will inherit whatever your gtk theme looks like:
    Here is the script. To use: just dump into a text file called "changevol", chmod +x it, and put it in the PATH somewhere:

    Can you provide an example of issuing the command using xbindkeys? or even what I should be issuing on the command line? I must be doing something wrong ... and I do not feel like studying the code to figure it out since you can give me the answer just as fast
    The usage synopsis is in the first post or available by just doing "changevol" or changevol -h|--help.
    But to increase the volume by 5:
    changevol -i 5
    To decrease the volume by 5:
    changevol -d 5
    To toggle mute on and off:
    changevol -t
    If you need to specify a mixer other than "Master" which is the default mixer, you use the -c flag, so say you needed to use the mixer "Front" to increase by 5:
    changevol -c Front -i 5
    I see there is a problem in the code where it says No volume changing action has been dictated when I want it to say Incorrect usage, see changevol --help. I will try to fix that. Still learning python.
    Edit: I have changed it to see if getopts returns no options and then if so print back the Incorrect usage error message. That should do a lot to direct people to the right, direction. I have also, changed the No volume changing action one, to also direct to --help.

  • How can I permanently disable the "fn" key?

    Hi.  My subject says it all.  How can I permanently disable the "fn" key?
    At first I thought I had a virus or something because when I typed only weird symbols came out.  Then I reset the computer.  Then I couldn't even log in.  I tried Time Machine etc.
    Then I realized that the "fn" key wasn't working right.  It seems to be working backwards.  It acts like it's being pushed when it's not, and when I do push it it acts like it's not being used.
    So it's kind of a simple problem but it's really annoying.
    Is there a way I can just disable it permanently?  Even physical force if necessary.  I tried to break it but it wouldn't break.  I don't really use the key anyway so it doesn't really matter.  I don't want to pay a bunch of money to replace a key I don't even use.
    Thanks.  I hope someone knows.

    That's the best answer.  Yeah usually if you press "fn" or "option" you can get it to work for awhile.
    Yeah I have considered some kind of external keyboard also.  It will make a laptop less laptopish.  But it could do the job for awhile.
    It's sad because I don't even care about the "fn" or "option" keys.
    But anyway it's not catastrophic at least.
    And yeah maybe we can get a new computer later or something.  I like mine though.  It's customized and is how I like it right now.
    Anyway thanks for the reply.

  • Multimedia Keys in Awesome Window Manager [SOLVED]

    Hey,
    I've googled, searched, grepped and scanned about this for weeks, and I think I can't get it working on my own, although I'm sure the right answer is just out there waiting to be found, and one of you brighter minds might just know it already. Right, here's what happens.
    I was using openbox, and the keybindings were working just fine. This should probably discard missing symbols or scancodes for the keys, IMHO. Then I switch over to Awesome, and fall in love. The awesome (pun intended) config files by anrxc made it even better, and these days I can't live without my awesome. But I also wanted my volume keys to work. Not like I mind opening a terminal and popping alsamixer... I got 15 of them open all the time anyway. But I still wanted to use the fancy buttons.
    The strange thing is, the keys seem to "disappear" as soon as I map them somewhere. I've tried binding them in rc.lua:
    awful.key({}, "#121", function () exec("pvol.py -m", false) end),
    awful.key({}, "#122", function () exec("pvol.py -c -2", false) end),
    awful.key({}, "#123", function () exec("pvol.py -c 2", false) end),
    pvol.py is a script (made by anrxc too) that does stuff to the volume and displays a cute gtk progress bar to indicate current volume level. Invoking it from the terminal works fine.
    I also tried using xbindkeys:
    "pvol.py -m"
    XF86AudioMute
    "pvol.py -c -2"
    XF86AudioLowerVolume
    "pvol.py -c 2"
    XF86AudioRaiseVolume
    But the result was the same. Here's the output of xev with the keys unbound:
    KeyPress event, serial 25, synthetic NO, window 0x1600001,
    root 0x15a, subw 0x0, time 4706773, (74,267), root:(796,288),

    XLookupString gives 0 bytes:
    XFilterEvent returns: False
    As you can see, they respond to the key codes 121. 122, and 123. Going to a console and running showkey, however, gives me the key codes 113, 114, and 115. I've tried mapping both, and the X11 symbols, with the same result. Below, a sample of xev's output when I bind the keys somewhere (out put for a single key, all result in the same output):
    FocusOut event, serial 29, synthetic NO, window 0x1600001,
    mode NotifyGrab, detail NotifyAncestor
    FocusIn event, serial 29, synthetic NO, window 0x1600001,
    mode NotifyUngrab, detail NotifyAncestor
    KeymapNotify event, serial 29, synthetic NO, window 0x0,
    keys: 2 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0
    0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0
    And of course, nothing happens. The same happens whether I bind the keys in awesome or through xbindkeys. I have to admit, I'm pretty much out of ideas. Anyone seen this before?

    Just to clarify for anyone who comes across this, "%" is needed after the number. It should be:
    awful.key({ }, "XF86AudioRaiseVolume", function () awful.util.spawn("amixer set Master 2%+") end),
    awful.key({ }, "XF86AudioLowerVolume", function () awful.util.spawn("amixer set Master 2%-") end)
    You should also be able to add Mute functionality:
    awful.key({ }, "XF86AudioMute", function () awful.util.spawn("amixer set Master toggle") end)
    Also, to get rid of the loading cursor, pass false as a second argument to all three of these:
    awful.key({ }, "XF86AudioRaiseVolume", function () awful.util.spawn("amixer set Master 2%+", false) end),
    awful.key({ }, "XF86AudioLowerVolume", function () awful.util.spawn("amixer set Master 2%-", false) end)

  • Multimedia keys are non-functional

    I'm currently experiencing a problem with the multimedia keys on the Apple Pro (white) keyboard. The expose keys work; however the brightness, volume up, volume down, mute, and eject keys will not. The said keys will work for a few seconds as OS X is loading up and mounting the drives, but they stop working once the drives are mounted. Right now, I'm using the menu bar eject button. When I click the "Keyboard/Mouse" preferences in the System Settings, I get a perpetual spinning beach ball and I'm forced to restart the computer using the power button. I've tried all of the following without any success:
    * replaced existing Apple Pro Keyboard with another of the same
    * CommandOption+OR
    * CommandOption+PR
    * plugged keyboard & mouse into different USB ports
    I've had this computer 4+ years and this is a first. I would greatly appreciate any additional suggestions.
    Thanks.

    Hi Nick, and a warm welcome to the forums!
    Could be many things, we should start with this...
    "Try Disk Utility
    1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc that came with your computer, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
    2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
    Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.
    3. Click the First Aid tab.
    4. Click the disclosure triangle to the left of the hard drive icon to display the names of your hard disk volumes and partitions.
    5. Select your Mac OS X volume.
    6. Click Repair. Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
    Then Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it finishes.
    The usual reason why updates fail or mess things up, or things don't load/run, is if Permissions are not fixed before & after every update, with a reboot... you may get a partial update when the installer finds it doesn't have Permissions to change one obscure little part of the OS, leaving you with a mix of OS versions.
    Some people get away without Repairing Permissions for years, some for only days.
    If Permissions are wrong before applying an update, you could get mixed OS versions, if Directory is the slightest messed up, who knows!
    If many Permission are repaired, or any Directory errors are found, you may need to re-apply some the latest/biggest updates again, or even do an A&I if you have enough free disk space.
    The combo update for PowerPC-based Macs...

    The combo update for Intel-based Macs...
    http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/macosx10411comboupdateintel.html
    Repair Permissions after re-install, then reboot again.
    If all the above do not resolve the problem, then it's time for an Archive & Install, which gives you a new OS, but can preserve all your files, pics, music, settings, etc., as long as you have plenty of free disk space...

  • How do I make my multimedia keys work with iTunes?

    I just bought a new Dell XPS L502X laptop and i realize that the multimedia keys only work with iTunes when the window is open. I was wondering if it would be possible to use these commands even when the window is not open.

    You are correct in some of your assertions, Limnos but, if I were to follow Apple's wishes, I would have to purchase the latest and greatest Apple product every month!  I refuse to do that.  I understand that my G4 is old but, it does what I need it to do.  To answer your question though, I purchased the iPod classic as a refurbished unit, about 5 years ago and had it replaced three times, since then so, there is no way for me to know how old it is.
    From my knowledge of how the Classics work(which is extensive.)  It is basically a hard disk.  There should be of performing a low level format, plug it back in and the G4 should recognize the ROm and automatically search for the correct software associated with that version of iPod and load it but, Apple will most likely no longer carry the software on their servers anymore!(surprise,surprise.)

  • N95 8gb V20.0.0.16 Multimedia Key not working

    Hi, I think I found a bug!
    make sure the phone is in portrait mode:
    1. press the multimedia key
    2. press it again to exit
    3. Turn the phone to bring it to landscape mode (make sure auto rotate is enabled)
    4. press the multimedia key
    For me the menu does not start. When I switch it back to portrait, the menu still doesn't launch, so I have to restart my phone to get it working again.
    Can anyone verify this?

    Just now i read that post. But that guy(wintomato) post that on 15th of march. So it was not about v20. Because v20 just released few days before. When I used v15 nothing happened like that. Maybe it's depened on particular theme or devices. Like my camera has 2 green spot after v11. But very few pepole has these prob. Good luck

  • N70 Multimedia Key

    Hi everyone
    i used to set the program MSDICT Viewer for my N70 Multimedia Key, before i upgrade the phone's firmware from v 3.*** (i don't remember! ) to 5.0638.3.0.1. but now i can't set it up any more! MSDICT viewr is not available in the program list of Multimedia Key. surprisingly it is available for other keys as i go to tools\settings\phone\standby mode. what is the problem with the multimedia key? why it doesn't show all the programs installed in the phone?
    i reinstalled MSDICT but again it didn't work.
    any suggestions appreciated.
    thanks.

    but nj7_, what do you mean "the Rules have been changed"? it is supposed to work with all programs. you know, one of the greatest advantages to such functional key is to execute any program while you are working somewhere else. what a pity! it was really really useful before.

  • N70 - Multimedia Key - Fault?

    Hi All,
    I have set the Notes application to the Multimedia Key, which worked for a while, but then stopped.
    This is my second N70 due to o2 blocking my first for some reason only known to themselves. The Multimedia Key on the first didn't work at all - until I was preparing to return it, and I uninstalled all the apps and everything from the Gallery - when I deleted the gallery items, something about an active key flashed up - I didn't really take notice as I was sending it back, but after that happened, the Multimedia Key worked.
    I've tried looking in the Active Keys in the Menu, but it crashes the phone.
    Just wondering whether anyone can help me with this?

    Again O2 are quite good in this respect, my SIM seems to have the ability to add an icon to the any(?) unlocked phones menu system. The icon is just called "O2" If you select this, a warning pops up "allow SIM card to send a message" If you select 'yes', hey presto all your settings are set to you via ~3 SMS messages that self install the settings you mention onto most modern phones.
    So you get all your settings back in ~5 min worked a treat.
    I'm not sure if it is just new SIMs that have this ability?
    as I got an upgraded O2 '3G ready' SIM recently.
    Otherwise you could use this 'operator settings' service provided by Nokia themselves...
