MX keys same function as media keys? #31

Closed mrgrey1 closed 9 years ago

mrgrey1 commented 9 years ago

Running KDE Debian and having the same problem as issue 29. My MX keys have the same functions as the media keys, the M5 key will put my system to sleep. I have checked the solutions on issue 29, the files 90-apex.hwdb and .Xmodmap are in their correct locations. I have tried running "sudo udevadm hwdb --update" manually and get "missing or unknown command". "sudo udevadm control --reload" returns without issue. Any help appreciated.

Edit: Figured out my problem. Debian stable (wheezy) is on udev v175 which is too old for ApexCtl to function. I updated my system to testing (jessie) which has udev v215 and ApexCtl is now working as intended. To the devs, thanks for this program, I bought this keyboard specifically because I saw the macros were supported in Debian and my g15 was dying. May I recomend you specify somewhere in the Readme what version udev is required and add a note to the Debian install instructions that Wheezy will not work without updated udev. Would have saved me some time. ;) Cheers.

Sorry for not replying in time. I've noticed the email notification on my phone, but forgot to follow it up when I got to my PC.

And yes, minimum required version of udev is v206. There was similar problem in issue #4. But I completely agree with you, this should be mentioned somewhere.

Just added it to the readme: 412d4c543f69304868cd3de2ab4b1314727f1881.
