Multimedia key problem
#1
I have a Raspberry PI B+ model running XBMC. It does not recognize the Volume UP, Volume Down, or Pause/Play buttons from the Fusion USB Volume knob. It also does not recognize them from a normal keyboard with the same keys.

I found these instructions to try and fix the problem:
http://www.howtoeverything.net/linux/ras...-keyboards

They basically explain how to add a keymap file so that raspbmc will respond to the key presses. I was stumped by the instructions because the key presses for Volume Up, Volume Down, and Pause/Play do not appear in the debug log when debug is activated. Other key presses do.

I looked into this further and tried showkeys from the console. "showkeys -s" shows blank lines. "showkeys" shows 113, 114 and 115 for the three keys in question. (Both the knob and the keyboard do this.)

So where do I even look for information on a fix?

Looks like you need to go a step further (I never heard of showkey before today), and apply (if you can) the advice in this page
I'm not sure how much this would involve, but the combination of that and the thread you linked should fix it for you.
