My left arrow key is not working as intended.
In KDE, it mutes the sound.
In Awesome Window manager, it does nothing.
Here's my 00-keyboard.conf
file :
I have tired to comment out XkbModel
, XkbLayout
and XkbVariant
options too but no good
#This file was generated by the Anaconda installer

EndSection

Option "DontZap" "false"
EndSection
Here's my .Xmodmap
file (notice that the left arrow is not working with or without the xmodmap :
keycode 113 = 0x1008FF12 (the actual mute button)
keycode 224 = 0x1008FF03 (lowering brightness button - not working too)
Any help would be appreciated. this is really strange. I'm using Fedora 18.
showkey
is the f11 key which also is a multimedia key (Mute). So i tried to map it to the sound mute functionality. But when i press it, nothing happens. What happens In KDE, when i press the left arrow, mute functionality gets activated. (and i just didxmodmap .Xmodmap
so when i restart X, it should be restored to defaults - which is, the left arrow key moves the pointer to the left, and the multimedia button has no functionality yet)113
and the mute key was121
. corrected it and the left key works, but still the mute key doesn't work.xbindkeys
to assign whatXF86AudioMute
do. Thanks for your help
