Volume Keys dont work on asus eeepc 1000HE

Hi guys,
I know that with this topic title you'll think you already have the answer here, but i look for it and i couldn't find.
I decide to use arch linux on my pc. Before I was using debian but i wanted to try out arch, and it's great! My problem is that i'm using openbox, and on debian i can bind the "XF86AudioRaiseVolume" key to increase the volume. Now It doesn't detect that key. With xev on terminal, i get nothing when i press that key so i can't bind it.
I already try with and without "acpi_osi=Linux" on the grub entry. I'm with 2.6.39 kernel, and i have acpi-eeepc-generic installed too.
Can anyone help me?
Thanks in advance for your help.

Actually, I was receiving a KeymapNotify event and I when i went copy it to paste here, the Key started to work. I have no idea what happen, because I did not change anything from the last time a checked. But it is working now..thanks for your help.
Are you using openbox too with 1000HE Guff?
Hmm. No idea. I would assume something else was grabbing the keys, but I don't have a good enough understanding of how that's handled to speculate further.
Nah, currently running awesome, although I've used openbox along with many other WMs/DEs in the past without any issues.

  • Keyboard keys dont work in Mac OSx

    The following keys suddenly stop working and then continue working randomly: F1 to F7, but the F keys work (eg to show desktop) and also the right (and only the right) shift key.
    This does not depend on what software I have running and happens very very frequently.
    If I bring up the Keyboard Viewer when the problem exists, the keys also dont get registered on the keyboard viewer.
    This is really annoying and happens in Mac OSx, not in Windows - although volume and brightness keys dont work (all the time) in Windows - less of an issue though.
    Any suggestions??

    I'm having a similar problem. But it is not intermittent, they just don't work.
    What can I do to fix this? If I use my wireless keyboard, it isn't a problem. Just when I use my laptop by itself...

  • Volume button dont work correctly

    Hello,
    I have iPhone 4S on 5.1.1 which I bought in September last year.
    Yesterday when I listen to music with my iPhone I found out the the MINUS volume button dont work correctly.
    It's need to push him hard to decrease the volume. however the PLUS volume button work correctly.
    In addition there is no "click" sound when I press the minus volume button.
    what should I do?
    I live in ISRAEL and there isn't Apple Store here so the only solution for me is to contact the carrier which I bought the iPhone from them but they probably will require payment for the repair.

    sorry but i actually need to use the volume buttons Jujusoccer11
    i've tried resetting already and restoring from back up already but still has the same problem lllaass,
    i'll try restoring to factory defaults now, i hope  it works

  • Arrow keys dont work on flash games

    Hi, anyone had this problem? The arrow keys dont work when I
    play flash games. Have downloaded latest version of flash (multiple
    times) and still the same problem. I load up a flash game, then can
    only use the mouse to play. Arrow keys just dont respond when used.
    Arrow keys work fine on other programs, just flash is a
    problem
    Really hope someone has had this before and knows what to do.
    Thanks for any replies.

    I had the same problem and was looking around on the net for
    help. I found a post that said to try using the numbered keypad
    instead, as in 8 is up, 2 is down, 4 is left and 6 is right. It
    worked for me so hopefully this will help you as well. :)

  • Volumeicon volume keys stop working after adjusting volume via icon

    When Volumeicon is first started, the volume keys work fine, (although it doesn't show the volume bar like it does when you scroll on the icon for some reason). When I adjust the volume by scrolling the mousewheel on the icon, the volume keys stop working and volume can only be adjusted via scrollwheel. Volumeicon must be restarted to restore volume key functionality.
    Why is this happening? What's going on?

    Is this something that worked previously but then stopped working correctly?
    What window manager / desktop environment are you using?
    If you start volumeicon from the command line then use it are there any error messages?
    Alternatively, does the volumeicon-gtk2 packagen in the AUR work better?

    Did you already try to reset the phone by holding the sleep and home button for about 10sec, until the Apple logo comeback again?
    If this does not boring back a working volume control, and to rule out a software issue, set it up as new device, explained here:
    Use iTunes to restore your iOS device to factory settings - Apple Support
    If still no luck, you'll have to get it checked by visiting an Authorized Apple Service Provider or Apple Store next to your place.

  • Volume keys stopped working

    None of my volume keys are working. The volume is showing me that its until the loudest it goes but the speaker above is is faded and undernether there is a "not working" symbol, almost like this .. . My volume was working perfectly a few hours ago. AND I restarted the computer. How do i fix this?

    Try a pram reset: power down the MBP, power up holding the following keys, option, command P,R, (no commas) continue to hold these keys until you hear the start chime 2 times.  Then release the keys. Reboot.  Hope this helps.

  • Presario R3000 volume keys stopped working

    I am running Arch very well on my Compaq Presario R3000, and so far I have only had one hiccup.
    My volume keys were working properly at first using the Compaq Presario keyboard map in gnome, and it would act upon the proper ALSA maste volume and show the corresponding onscreen display of my actions. Today, my keys aren't working on the mixer at all, but if I am running Mplayer, they work on the volume there.
    What would cause this odd behavior.....any ideas?
    Thanks.

    ok...update time.....my buttons spontainously started working again tonight. I am not sure what happened because I enabled the testing repo, did an Syu, and now here we are.
