I need to learn more about kmilo. Is . I think mostly the way these are supposed to work is via the fancy XF86 keys these days - but the OSD seems to be the stickler.
XF86AudioRaiseVolume XF86AudioLowerVolume XF86AudioMute XF86MonBrightnessUp XF86MonBrightnessDown
Regarding that kmilo provides an OSD that is very nice, and i see they do it for brightness as well. However, should such things be centralized? i do not know. I dont have a good view on it. It seems nice that they would all act the same, brightness, volume, etc. Perhaps that should be more pluggable or maybe if we decide to drop kmixer as default we make kmilo focus on tmix.
It seems a lot to ask to add DCOP, then get tmix to listen to it etc, all just so a global hotkey which already works - works within kmilo.
I need outside help on this

I do not have a laptop or use KMILO. I don't really understand what it's for but - if you get regular keyboard events via xev you should be able to see what key is mapped when you press the special laptop volume buttons.
I also do not have laptop, but my keyboard has multimedia keys. So after reboot without kmilo, the OSD is not working and if I remember correctly this is the reason to install kmilo back then.
To that end, what if you just configure it this way - inside TDE using the global shortcuts?
IMO we should either update kmilo or add the osd functionality to tmix.
Let me know about the debian directory, as I saw you have built a package. I would like to install the package with the icons.
