Inconsistent xev output

I have a few media keys and I set up XF86AudioMedia to start up my music player in .xbindkeysrc

"deadbeeef"
    m:0x0 + c:179
    XF86AudioMedia

But then after restarting xbindkeys, that button doesnt do anything. So I fired up xev again. and this time xev doesn't return any keycode or keysym at all.

Then after a few days, it returned the key name as XF86Tools. but using that resulted in the same thing. This happens with 4 of my buttons:

XF86AudioMedia /XF86Tools
XF86AudioMute
XF86AudioRaiseVolume
XF86AudioLowerVolume

now xev only gives this for all of the above buttons:

FocusOut event, serial 30, synthetic NO, window 0x1600001,
    mode NotifyGrab, detail NotifyAncestor

FocusOut event, serial 30, synthetic NO, window 0x1600001,
    mode NotifyUngrab, detail NotifyPointer

FocusIn event, serial 30, synthetic NO, window 0x1600001,
    mode NotifyUngrab, detail NotifyAncestor

KeymapNotify event, serial 30, synthetic NO, window 0x0,
    keys:  1   0   0   0   0   0   0   0   0   0   0   0   0   0   0   0   
           0   0   0   0   0   0   0   0   0   0   0   0   0   0   0   0

Any tips?

Re: Inconsistent xev output

A customary 24 hours + bump??


I also use the said keys as global shortcuts in deadbeef. Once I start up deadbeef (either through CLI or using dmenu) I can use the keys and they work perfectly well in deadbeef, but xev still doesn't show anything on those keypresses except for what I pasted in my first post.


But I want to be able to use the XF86AudioMedia/XF86Tools key to start deadbeef. GAAAAAH !!!
Anyone?
