Does anyone manage to use the #keyboard media controls in #FreeBSD #Xorg? I have a DasKeyboard with a volume jog that works out of the box on #OpenBSD.

The events seems to be working using xev tester. It regognizes the RaiseVolume and LowerVolume events.

Not sure where to actually start looking for a solution.

It was 2019 and I think I was fed up with people posting gdm p0rn. So I did some using #xenodm on #OpenBSD.

It probably still works these days.

I haven't obsessed this much with my #X11 desktop since I was .. much younger. Trying to make it functional and purrty on 30 year old hardware is challenging but fun. Thanks to #NetBSD and the fact that most old X and #Xorg tools are still around and do all the things they always did - and haven't bloated much in those 30 years - helps a lot.

I'll take Wayland when it comes my way without me having to lift a finger, but until then I'm glad the X Window System is still around. Keeps this old hardware useful.
