From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.6) Gecko/20040506 Galeon/1.3.14 Description of problem: I'm not sure which component to file this against but I believe that since switching to xorg-x11, my keyboard shortcuts for the multimedia keys on my Dell keyboard no longer work. At one point during the beta of FC2, I was able to use the keyboard applet to set my keyboard to Dell and then use the Keyboard Shortcuts applet to set things like Volue Mute , Up, and Down to appropriate multimedia keys. Now with the same settings, those keys don't register in that applet. They are not recognized. The input layer is not seeing the keys and doesn't seem to be able to be configure to see them. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): xorg-x11-6.7.0-2 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. set keyboard to dell in keyboard applet 2. try to set keyboard shortcuts 3. Actual Results: keys are not recognized Expected Results: keys are recognized and my mute button works Additional info: this worked at some point in the test cycle
