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 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.

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.
