[[!meta title="How to use the volume keys on the Lenovo X200 and X201"]]
|
|
|
|
If you want to make use of the volume up/down buttons on your
|
|
X201, you can simply install
|
|
[xbindkeys](http://www.nongnu.org/xbindkeys/xbindkeys.html) and
|
|
add the following to your **~/.xbindkeysrc**:
|
|
|
|
#VolDown
|
|
"amixer -q set Master 5%-"
|
|
m:0x0 + c:122
|
|
NoSymbol
|
|
|
|
#VolUp
|
|
"amixer -q set Master 5%+"
|
|
m:0x0 + c:123
|
|
NoSymbol
|
|
|
|
Beware: The keycodes are different on the X200 and the X201! For the
|
|
X200, use the following configuration:
|
|
|
|
#VolDown
|
|
"amixer -q set Master 5%-"
|
|
m:0x0 + c:174
|
|
NoSymbol
|
|
|
|
#VolUp
|
|
"amixer -q set Master 5%+"
|
|
m:0x0 + c:176
|
|
NoSymbol
|
|
|
|
For testing, you can launch
|
|
|
|
xbindkeys --verbose -n
|
|
|
|
Afterwards, you can include **xbindkeys** into your **.xinitrc** without any parameters,
|
|
as it automatically forks into the background:
|
|
|
|
xbindkeys
|
|
|
|
The **volume mute** button also generates an event on the X201
|
|
(none on the X200), but it seems like muting is done in hardware,
|
|
so no need for a mapping.
|
|
|
|
Have fun!
