Package: x11-xkb-utils
Version: 7.4+1
Severity: important
On my laptop with debian lenny ia32, multimedia keys (sound wheel etc)
did not work until i did an ugly copy of kubuntu 8.04 workaround.
symptom:
when i turn the sound wheel, xev said
on debian lenny : state 0x0, keycode 174 (keysym 0x0, NoSymbol),
on ubuntu 8.04 : state 0x0, keycode 174 (keysym 0x1008ff11,
XF86AudioLowerVolume)
further investigations showed how kubuntu 8.04 efficiently solved my
problem with 2 files, one system wide configuration for X, and the
xmodmap datas.

Now all my multimedia keys are working (i have no more reason to use ubuntu ;-)
The only remaining problem is the huge popup window in the middle of the
screen, when ubuntu shows only a tiny one (maybe this is another topic)

if we're going to do that, it'll be over my dead body.

setting XkbModel to the right value in xorg.conf would fix that.
it'll also be fixed in squeeze (as it is in ubuntu intrepid, i think) by
using the evdev X driver.
