Bug 147143 – x11-misc/xkeyboard-config - duplicate entry for XF86AudioRaiseVolume causes the key to not work in KDE

• Status: RESOLVED UPSTREAM
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Dima Ryazanov 2006-09-11 00:38:13 UTC]

Two different keys are mapped to XF86AudioRaiseVolume in /usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols/inet. Because of that, the volume-up button doesn't work properly in KDE (and GNOME?).

I opened a bug on KDE's site: http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=132567 - which was correctly resolved as invalid.
Here's a link with some info from Debian: http://lists.debian.org/debian-x/2006/04/msg01842.html

And here's a simple patch:

     key <I30> { [ XF86AudioRaiseVolume ] };
     key <I32> { [ XF86HomePage ] };
     key <I3B> { [ XF86New ] };


I assume that there shouldn't ever be two different key codes for the same symbol. I looked at Xlib functions, and it seems that it's ok to have multiple symbols with the same keycode, but not vice versa.
