Postby mikey0000 » Tue Aug 21, 2007 2:36

i currently have a M$ wireless keyboard and it has software with it for the media keys (play stop ect) is there anyway to ether use the software that came with it (which im reasonably sure i cant) or create a file that will do it, i want to use it with amarok and the movie player.

thanks Michael

Have you looked at http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_Use_Multimedia_Keys

The theme should be the same in 3.4a to 3.4e :shock:

cheers for that ill work on that in my spare time. i have a friend who has a asus laptop and basicly if he could get his asus powergear to work he'd switch ddoes anyone know if you could run it in wine and it would work? this is a program for short keys to sound, brightness and a lcd that displays msn messages and a few more things.

cheers
