I'm currently using a wireless Dell keyboard that has a rotary
electro-mechanical volume control on the corner. It controls the volume
in Gnome, out of the box, but not in KDE.

Any suggestions for getting it to control KDE's volume?

Thanks!

    

configure kde 

Control Panel -> Localization -> Keyboard layout -> Keyboard model

apply and it should work

Hmm, KDE 3.5.10; I don't find a "Localization", but I do find a "Regional and Accessibility" which gets me there.

Unfortunately, I have already given up on the keyboard (I hated the placement of some of the keys), and moved it a Mac in another room where it makes more sense anyway.

Maybe in a day or two I'll bring it back to my Debian box, just to see if I can get it to work now that you've given me a clue toward solving the problem.

Thanks very much! I appreciate your response!
