Description Zots Zeliko 2006-08-26 14:03:14 UTC

Hello. I ve installed open SuSE 10.1 on my laptop. Everything works perfectly. The only problem I have is that linux didn't recognise the external volume control of my laptop (the volume slider that most laptops have on their left or right). The slider works fine under windows. I hope someone can help me to fix it.
Also the special button combination Fn+(mute, increase volume, decrease volume) don't work.

I am using a Fujitsu-Siemens Amilo M3438G laptop.
The sound chip is an ALC880. I think is made by realtek.



If you need any details for my laptop or any configuration files just send me an email to: ochampao@hotmail.com

thanks

Timo, I think this is more a function-key reporting than a sound problem. Can you look at that, and if you think different please tell me so?

I agree.

Zots, could you please open a terminal within X and run "xev"?  Then press the buttons and eye the output in the terminal, if something happens once you press or release the keys.

Thank you!
