kmix global shortcut settings
After some time of searching for the procedure to set my multimedia keys for volume control, I stumbled upon using Global Shortcuts. I set the volume controls, and while the volume decrease and mute keys function, the volume increase does not. What do I need to do to get this corrected. Thanks in advance for input.

I just tried it on my FC5 (KDE 3.5.4) machine. Both volume up/down work just fine. You might want to make sure the key you're using to increase volume does work. What happens, for instance, if you use the key you originally assigned to decreasing volume? Will the volume increase?

RE: kmix global shortcut settings
I have since loaded PCLinuxOS to give a try, I am seriously considering deleting Suse from my system because of Novell's deal with the evil empire. Everything is working perfectly in PCLinuxOS except for the screensaver.
However, back to your question, the volume increase key registers a key press when I run XEV, it returns the proper keycode. I don't recall whether I tried to assign another function to the key. This is no longer an issue at this point. If I consider going back to Suse, I will try your suggestion. I would also update KDE to the currect release, which may solve the problem.
Thanks for your suggestion and time. Now on to solve the screensaver issue...

You're welcome. I wish I could have helped you better. Anyway, I hear good things about PCLos. I'm pretty sure you'll be happy.
