3) The sound volume up/down function keys [Fn up/down arrow] no
longer respond (xfce4). However the screen brightness keys
function normally [Fn left/right arrow]. The mute sound
function key is also ignored [Fn F8]. I can control volume
with the mouse using pavucontrol or gkrellm-volume.
No progress.
if the keys are recognized by the kernel, then you can remap them
with an udev hwdb rule.
Test with evtest if the keys get a scancode and a keycode.
Something like: type 4 (EV_MSC), code 4 (MSC_SCAN), value 700e0
type 1 (EV_KEY), code 29 (KEY_LEFTCTRL), value 1 In this case I
pressed the Left Ctrl key, which has a value of 700e0
Create a new rule in /etc/udev/hwdb.d with something like:
evdev:atkbd:dmi:bvn*:bvr*:bd*:svnAcer*:pn*
KEYBOARD_KEY_ed=volumeup KEYBOARD_KEY_ee=volumedown etc...
use evemu-describe to find your evdev:... line

Thanks Floris! I will look into this, but I am confounded as to why
on jessie and previous versions, recognizing these sound keys was
automatic.
