Some more information: I want this for listening to music, with MPD as the
server, and Sonata as the client. I made "/etc/X11/Xmodmap" with contents:
keycode 151 = XF86AudioPlay
keycode 159 = XF86AudioStop
keycode 178 = XF86AudioPrev
keycode 236 = XF86AudioNext
and "HOME/.xbindkeysrc" with contents:
"mpc toggle"
XF86AudioPlay
"mpc stop"
XF86AudioStop
"mpc prev"
XF86AudioPrev
"mpc next"
XF86AudioNext
Now, the only problem is that XBindKeys does not work when I am not logged in.
