Hello everybody! I have Speedlink SL-6399 remote and my problem is that after I have upgrade from Frodo to Helix. Volume keys (UP, DOWN, MUTE) don`t work, all other buttons are working properly.

Here logs from Frodo:

Code:

Helix does not fulfill these buttons is pressed, logs is empty.

Tested on Arch Linux, Kernel 3.16.3-1.

@BytEvil: with Ubuntu if shortcuts are defined for the media keys then Helix simply never gets the events for the keypresses. I assume Unity grabs the keypresses before any apps see them.

I would guess something similar is happening with Arch Linux.

Yes! i have been made shortcuts in keyboard system settings, VolumeUP Ctrl - +, VolumeDown Ctrl - -(minus), Mute Ctrl + F8.
Now everything works as it should work.
Thanks for all!!!
