xmodmap FC4

[François Patte]

Bonjour,

I have laptop with a wheel for the sound volume and I tried (without
success) to make work under fc4 using xmodmap.

First, I used xev which return: keycode=174 when I turn the wheel
clockwise and keycode=176 for counter clockwise.

So put

keycode 176 = 0x1008FF13
keycode 174 = 0x1008FF11

in a .xmodmaprc and run xmodmap .xmodmaprc

Now, xev returns:

KeyPress event, serial 29, synthetic NO, window 0x2e00001,
     root 0x131, subw 0x0, time 2623843, (82,114), root:(88,526),
     state 0x0, keycode 176 (keysym 0x1008ff13,
XF86AudioRaiseVolume), 			same_screen YES,
     XLookupString gives 0 bytes:
     XmbLookupString gives 0 bytes:
     XFilterEvent returns: False

and

KeyPress event, serial 29, synthetic NO, window 0x2e00001,
     root 0x131, subw 0x0, time 2623344, (82,114), root:(88,526),
     state 0x0, keycode 174 (keysym 0x1008ff11,
XF86AudioLowerVolume), 			same_screen YES,
     XLookupString gives 0 bytes:
     XmbLookupString gives 0 bytes:
     XFilterEvent returns: False

But nothing happens to the volume level....

What did I miss?

Merci
