Description Drlik Zbynek 2006-11-24 10:16:05 UTC

Version:           2.6 (using KDE 3.5.5, Gentoo)
Compiler:          gcc version 3.4.6 (Gentoo 3.4.6-r1, ssp-3.4.5-1.0, pie-8.7.9)
OS:                Linux (i686) release 2.6.18-suspend2

I upgraded kde from 3.5.2 to 3.5.5 and buttons mute, volumeup, volume down on my laptom hp compaq nc 6120 stop working. For first I try assign keys in kmix global shortcuts again but it didn't get that keys. In xev the keys were ok. Then I reinstalled khotkeys and kmix package and it started by possibly assign but still not react to keys. I tryed for example ctrl-m as diferent hotkey for mute but it still doesn't work.

Do the keys (e.g. CTRL-m) work in other applications? It is important that you test this with applications that allow to assign global shortcuts, like kscd or Amarok.

I have just tryied it in amarok and it works.

Thanks.

I have another bug report (Bug 136378) that is very similar. Starting from your answer I was asking myself if your bug report is the "same". I came to the conclusion that it is the "same". Thus I'll mark you bug report as duplicate.
So you might want to check bug 136378 for the possible solutions. Some people report success, some partial success, some none at all. So there doesn't seem to be a solution "for everybody" yet.
