Option "XkbModel" "microsoftmult"<br># Logitech iTouch keyboard<br>#
Option "XkbModel" "itouch"<br><br>and many others. Google for your keyboard model and XF86Config or<br>xorg.conf for more info. Using the provided definition for your<br>keyboard will rule out any xmodmap configuration issues as the root of

If I am able to use X's definition for my keyboard, how do I use the
multimedia buttons? Does it still map them to
XF86AudioRaiseVolume and such?<br>
<br>
How did you cause them to call your external shell script instead of myth's internal volume controls?<br>
<br>
Thanks!<br>
