This package is removed from Fedora Core 4 and not included in Fedora Extra: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Extras/OrphanedPackages In bug #120646: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=120646 suggess to replace "aumix" for "alsamixer" or "alsactl". Then, there are 2 solutions: 1. To include "aumix" in Fedora Extras. This is trivial because aumix rpm package from Fedora 3 works fine in Fedora 4. 2. To fix i8kbuttons from "i8kutils" package to work with "alsamixer" or "alsactl". Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Install "i8kutils" 2.Presh Fn-keys (multimedia buttons) Actual Results: Volumen doesn't change with Fn-keys in Dell laptops i8k driver compatible Expected Results: Volumen should to change with Fn-keys in Dell laptops i8k driver compatible Additional info:
I've just rebuilt some packages for FC-4 and development that should fix this problem by using amixer. I've also taken the opportunity to clean up many other details. Please try the new package once it's available and let me know if it works as expected for you.
Fixed. I've updated my system with yum: i8kutils-1.25-4.fc4 from Fedora Extras uses "amixer" instead of "aumix" in i8kbuttons script-daemon now.
