Volume keys not working on aspire one A110L in default lubuntu install

[Mikael Hjelm]

Binary package hint: lxde-common

On a default install lubuntu the volume keys are not working at all, no mute, raise volume or lower volume.

Swedish keyboard if that makes any difference.

This is solvable by adding the following changes.
add an .Xmodmap with the following:
keycode 121 = XF86AudioMute
keycode 122 = XF86AudioLowerVolume
keycode 123 = XF86AudioRaiseVolume

and adding the following lines to .config/openbox/lubuntu-rc.xml

   <keybind key="XF86AudioMute">
      <action name="Execute">
       <command>amixer sset Master toggle</command>
      </action>
    </keybind>
     <keybind key="XF86AudioRaiseVolume">
      <action name="Execute">
       <command>amixer sset Master 5%+</command>
      </action>
    </keybind>
     <keybind key="XF86AudioLowerVolume">
      <action name="Execute">
       <command>amixer sset Master 5%-</command>
      </action>
    </keybind>

I don't know if this is related to the to using the Fn key with numeric
numbers?
I know there was a discussion of having the patch for that being rolled out
to a 'deb' source?

keysym KP_Begin = KP_5
keysym KP_Right = KP_6
keysym KP_Home = KP_7
keysym KP_Up = KP_8
keysym KP_Prior = KP_9

Is this on the same Fn mapping area that we had previously discussed?

[Mikael Hjelm (j-m-hjelm)]

Not sure.
There is a "kepad" hidden within the normal keys on the aspire one accessible by pressing the function key.
However the volume keys are the normal arrows up and down and one function key together with the fn key so i do not think so but i could be wrong.

[Mikael Hjelm (j-m-hjelm)]

I have another laptop where the volume keys do not work either.
It seems that the xevents are registered correctly so my .Xmodmap entrys shouldn't be necessary.

.config/openbox/lubuntu-rc.xml
Seems to rely on xcfe4-volumed whereas lubuntu is using alsamixer.

Not sure where this should be reported to prompt some action. Does it belong in lubuntu openbox
