Hey, When I used xfce4, keyboard hotkeys for volume and brightness worked out of the box. Can I get this in fvwm? Maybe by starting some xfce4 daemon? Thanks! Nathan

You can run volume-daemons and brightness-daemons if you want, but I believe the common way of doing it in FVWM is to bind keys to console commands.
You could stick something like this in you config files:

Code:

Key XF86AudioLowerVolume A A Exec amixer set PCM 5%-
Key XF86AudioRaiseVolume A A Exec amixer set PCM 5%+

I don't use FVWM or alsa any longer, so I may be off on the syntax. Check your man pages. You can find the names of the keys using xev.
