Here my story is quite the same. I have a Chicony Keyboard (KB-9885) and have had many versions of ubuntu. Most times some keys are working, but never all. I have tried keyTouch during early releases of Ubuntu, but you can only use the options they have defined. And not the other options available in the hotkey-configuration program of ubuntu.
Now I use Ubuntu 9.04 . Hotkey is at this moment succesfull in detecting each button and in predicting which fuction each key has. But after running it Ubuntu is succesfull in detecting my hotkeys, while first not! First I run 'Gnome-keybinding-properties' this didn't sees all the buttons and exchange some of the other keys. Next I install KeyTouch- editor and KeyTouch. After running Keytouch-editor (this founds my keys without problems) and Keytouch (This don't result in more working keys...) I tried again 'Gnome-keybinding-properties' and just now it sees all my mediakeys and everything is perfect... So I am happy! I have the following buttons: Symbol - scancode of KeyTouch-editor Volume Down - 153 Mute - 146 Volume Up - 163 Previous song - 162 Stop - 164 Play/Pause - 161 Next Song - 160 Wake up - 227 Sleep - 223 Power - 222 WWW - 178 E-mail - 151 Prog 1 - 176 Prog 2 - 166 Prog 3 - 174 Back - 165 Forward - 158 -- Only 1 multimedia keys on keyboard work https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/162178 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
