The model inspiron defined in xkb/symbols/inet witch state that should work with Dell Inspiron 8xxx doens't work with 8600... It isn't the correct values for the internet buttons. I created a new model inspiron8600 with the correct values and now it works as it should, See Patch Using x11-base/xorg-x11-6.8.2-r2 Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: In Xorg.conf, Option "XkbLayout" "inspiron" Actual Results: Only volume buttons works Expected Results: All the multimedia keys, play, pause, stop, back, next should work Portage 2.0.51.22-r2 (default-linux/x86/2005.0, gcc-3.3.5-20050130, glibc-2.3.5-r0, 2.6.11.10 i686) ================================================================= System uname: 2.6.11.10 i686 Intel(R) Pentium(R) M processor 1500MHz Gentoo Base System version 1.6.13 dev-lang/python: 2.3.5 sys-apps/sandbox: 1.2.11 sys-devel/autoconf: 2.13, 2.59-r6 sys-devel/automake: 1.4_p6, 1.5, 1.6.3, 1.7.9-r1, 1.8.5-r3, 1.9.5 sys-devel/binutils: 2.15.92.0.2-r10 sys-devel/libtool: 1.5.18-r1 virtual/os-headers: 2.6.11-r2 ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="x86" AUTOCLEAN="yes" CBUILD="i686-pc-linux-gnu" CFLAGS="-O2 -march=pentium3 -mmmx -msse2 -fomit-frame-pointer -pipe" CHOST="i686-pc-linux-gnu" CONFIG_PROTECT="/etc /usr/kde/2/share/config /usr/kde/3/share/config /usr/lib/X11/xkb /usr/share/config /var/qmail/control" CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK="/etc/gconf /etc/terminfo /etc/env.d" CXXFLAGS="-O2 -march=pentium3 -mmmx -msse2 -fomit-frame-pointer -pipe" DISTDIR="/usr/portage/distfiles" FEATURES="autoconfig distlocks sandbox sfperms strict" GENTOO_MIRRORS="http://ftp.du.se/pub/os/gentoo ftp://mirror.pudas.net/gentoo" PKGDIR="/usr/portage/packages" PORTAGE_TMPDIR="/var/tmp" PORTDIR="/usr/portage" SYNC="rsync://rsync.europe.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage" USE="x86 X acpi alsa apache2 apm avi bitmap-fonts bzlib crypt curl dvd dvdread encode fam ffmpeg gdbm gif gtk2 icq imagemagick imlib jpeg libwww mad mmx mp3 mpeg ncurses nls ogg opengl pdflib perl png python quicktime readline samba slang sqlite sse sse2 ssl svg svga tcpd tiff truetype truetype-fonts type1-fonts vhosts vorbis win32codecs xine xml2 xmms xvid zlib userland_GNU kernel_linux elibc_glibc" Unset: ASFLAGS, CTARGET, LANG, LC_ALL, LDFLAGS, LINGUAS, MAKEOPTS, PORTDIR_OVERLAY
Created attachment 64231 [details, diff] Here is the patch that adds inspiron8600
This is an Xorg issue, not a Gentoo issue. Please file this at https://bugs.freedesktop.org and post the link here. We'll be glad to add the patch once it's accepted upstream.
Submited this to the bugzilla at freedesktop.org https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3880
Thank you :)
