Hi!

I'm trying to configure my function keys on my Lenovo G50 - 80 with Antix 15.
On my old laptop was working fine, with OSD notifications for volume keys, I need the same at my new laptop.

Testing with volume+ key, looks fine, detected as XF86AudioRaiseVolume
$xev
KeyRelease event, serial 48, synthetic NO, window 0x3200001,
root 0xcd, subw 0x0, time 1452080, (827,643), root:(829,666),
state 0x0, keycode 123 (keysym 0x1008ff13, XF86AudioRaiseVolume), same_screen YES,
XLookupString gives 0 bytes:
XFilterEvent returns: False
I'm not sure if is a ACPI problem, I have added acpi_osi=Linux acpi_backlight=vendor to grub without any efect.
acpi_listen, catch the keys, so i'm very confused.

Code: Select all

# acpi_listen 
button/volumeup VOLUP 00000080 00000000 K


I have edited .config/openbox/lxde-rc.xml as workarround, but I don't have OSD notification when use the keys.

Code: Select all

<keybind key="XF86AudioRaiseVolume">
        <action name="Execute">
            <command>amixer set Master 10%+ unmute</command>
        </action>
    </keybind>
Note that this modification not was needed on my old laptop (ASUS 5135 with Antix 13)

I need and additional package for --osd notification?
Is and ACPI error?

right click on the volume icon select prefeerences. at the bottom of the preference dialog enable the volume keys.

the notification are a lxde function. antix by default doesn't have them.

try adding notify-osd.
