Volume slider, Toshiba Tecra S4

I just made a neat discovery -- in my opinion, anyway

One thing that has bothered me since I started using Linux on my laptop (a Toshiba Tecra S4) is that the volume slider on the front of the machine hasn't worked.

I just started using MPD. in the short time I've had it running, I've looked at a lot of different clients for it. It just so happens that, when I have QMPDClient running, it works like a charm.

This gives me hope that there's another solution. For now, I'm just leaving QMPDClient in my tray; but is there anything else I can do? I'm thinking that there might be some obscure option in xorg.conf that gets it going.

All design goals must be phrased in such a way that it is hard to use them as slogans to justify stupidity.

The laptop is off for repairs at the moment (unrelated issue, of course; some expensive Windoze software my school paid for that fails to start except in safe mode), but I'll try this when I get it back
