Re: Volume control buttons

        I'd prefer the default to be left with PMF events and require a

        volume keys.

Yeah, people who remap keycodes in X can also put some sysctl -w whatever into .xinitrc ;)

        In an ideal world it would be nice for the volume buttons to
        work when the user logs out (or switches virtual console away from
        X), which is why I suggested some sort of pmf listener which could
        run during the X session and intercept the events.

        However thats very much a "wouldn't it be nice if it also did...",
        just having the buttons work out of the box is the massive win
        here :)

        I'll try not to mention the various volume keys I've seen on
        generic USB keyboards :)
