Media Keys Working In Amarok

Thursday, May 24, 2007

Hello all!
Great news today! I have finally been able to get my media keys on my Saitek Eclipse II keyboard! A million thanks to Boni over at the Amarok forums. He replied to my thread with the simple advice:
Disable all the Shotcuts for Media Playback in System > Settings > Hotkeys in your Ubuntu
So, I went under System -> Preferences -> Keyboard Shortcuts, and disable all the shortcuts by pressing backspace. I booted up Amarok, set my media keys and... IT WORKED! A billion times thanks to Boni again. This is what I love about Linux, people helping people. I love it! Now to listen to some music with my functioning hotkeys.

Woooow, thank you! That was so easy! Wonder if they'll still fail when the kde hotkey handler fails on me on a crash/reboot though...
