Version: (using KDE KDE 3.2.1) Installed from: Slackware Packages OS: Linux Would it be possible to assign functions to the keys that are commonly found on multimedia keyboards, as far as i know there is a great deal of them out there that use the same button assignments for things like calculator, home, sleep, mail, ect. Or if not that, perhaps add some program for configuring these keys or make the available utilities able to recognize these keys? (The configuration utility for keyboard shortcuts doesnt recognize the extra keys)
You need to configure your keyboard model properly in the keyboard control module in order for the multimedia keys to be recognized. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 60626 ***
how about a way to define your own keyboard model, from what I see it just lets you pick a model, my keyboard is a generic one and only some of the buttons have functionality on the microsoft and logitech models

Yes. There are so many models that I'd be surprised if none of them worked for you (my keyboard is hardly a ms one yet it works with microsoftpro model), and if that's not the case, complain to X people, the maps come with the X server.
