Hello

    root 0x89, subw 0x0, time 1478914, (-987,663), root:(73,783),
    state 0x0, keycode 174 (keysym 0x0, NoSymbol), same_screen YES,
    XLookupString gives 0 bytes: 
    XFilterEvent returns: False

KeyPress event, serial 33, synthetic NO, window 0x2200001,
    root 0x89, subw 0x0, time 1479578, (-987,663), root:(73,783),
    state 0x0, keycode 176 (keysym 0x0, NoSymbol), same_screen YES,

Re: [SOLVED] special keyboard keys in Acer 5315

I use xbindkeys to bind my media keys to certain actions.

Here is my .xbindkeysrc

#vol up
"amixer set Master 2dB+ unmute"
  m:0x10 + c:123
#vol dn 
"amixer set Master 2dB- unmute"
  m:0x10 + c:122
#vol up
"amixer set Master mute"
  m:0x10 + c:121
"mpc toggle"
  m:0x10 + c:172
"mpc prev"
  m:0x10 + c:173
"mpc next"
  m:0x10 + c:171
"mpc stop"
  m:0x10 + c:174
"urxvtc -e ncmpcpp"
  m:0x10 + c:234

The quoted string is the action, right below it is the keycode c:<keycode>
