not a support question

Hi devl547!
I didn't know about xbindkeys package (there's no info about it on Docs page). Yes, it could be done with that pack, but if the OS automatically recognize the shortcuts it would be better for inexperienced linux users, like me ^.^
"But I dont know if it has all the needed shortcuts in default config."
I think that all keyboards have the same key codes, so this shouldn't be a problem. Please correct me if I'm wrong.

Well, Sidini, you're not right. Most keyboards with the majority of ASCII characters have somewhat the same keycodes, but the problem is that they may not all correspond to the same characters. This is an issue present in games as well, for people in Scandinavian countries, Eastern Europe, and so on so forth. Unfortunately it is not easily solved on a every-single-keyboard-supported-basis, but it is doable to have certain media keys supported. However, it is unlikely to inherently be an issue with SliTaz at all, as it really comes down to the installed software not only to implement that kind of support, but also make use of it (for instance, the volume button in SliTaz' LXDE session+openbox is not _really_ a volume application by itself, and Clementine (the media player) doesn't support these keys in every desktop environment or setting either), so the problem you're posing is a known one, but not one that is just as easily solved unfortunately.
My suggestion to you is to either research the use of xbindkeys and figure out how it can work for you, or find a distribution (like Ubuntu) that supports it in their bloated - but functional - desktop environment.

@ necro, so there are default volume keys in Lxde ?? which are they ??

you'll have to find out how to learn french or translate it (or look for the english equivalent)

I guess my post was quite mangled, wasn't it. Anyway, I meant that there's not any default volume keys in LXDE, nor is there any built in support for it (to my knowledge anyway).

Almost all keyboards send standart keycodes to the system.
So as for volume control, we can just use defaults:
"amixer -q sset Master 2+"
XF86AudioRaiseVolume
"amixer -q sset Master 2-"
XF86AudioLowerVolume
"amixer set Master toggle"
XF86AudioMute

Wow! My post created a big discussion, huh? :D
Thank you necrophcodr, christophe, devl547 and Aleksej for your precious informations!
As this "issue" can't be easily solved, let's have it at that: the user must manually set the keyboard shortcuts. No problem!
I'll learn how to use xbindkeys and how to configure openbox, because I don't want to find another distro: Slitaz is the most suitable for my old PC. :D
(I'm learning Linux using Slitaz, and the LiveCD works fine with just 512MB of RAM)
Best regards from Brazil!

Well, I'm back... with good news.
After a little headache (caused by my MS Windows addictions) I installed and configured xbindkeys by myself. At this moment I'm listening music at Alsaplayer, and I can control volume using the keyboard multimedia shortcuts (special keys).
Many Thanks for all users for your helpful information!
Now I'm trying to learn how to configure internet shortcut keys by myself (setting up Midori navigation shortcuts). It couldn't be hard now that I know how to use xbindkeys. If I learn it maybe I'll write a How-To to help other Slitaz newbies like me. (my English is not so good, but I'll try :D )

Hello. Once again about autostart script.
According to Mojo post I made file setxkbmap.desktop in /etc/xdg/autostart
and it cointains the following:
[Desktop Entry]
Type=Application
Name=example
Exec=setxkbmap lv -variant apostrophe
NotShowIn=LXDE;XFCE;Razor;
And it doesn't work. Doesn't start on boot.
What did I wrong?

As it turns out I had by mistake opened rc1 instead of RC2
So the only issues that remain from my original post are
1- no (terminal) icon for Sakura windows in the taskbar. I was under the impression that this bug had beend fixed in earlier releases ??
2- the cursor still disappears in several occasions. The most obvious one is if I position it on the x point to close a firefox tab (no need to depress it): the cursor is there but invisible
3- My lobitech usb mouse is not recognized
4- the blkid instruction to mount the usb key as /home does not work (it says it is sleeping 3s to allow mounting the device then complains it is unable to find it and proceeds)
5- the usb ramkey does not show in pcmanfm (disk partitions do) and extracting / inserting it does not solve the issue
6- starting pcmanfm as root from sakura: no disk partition is shown (they show as tux)
Still love it of course ;)
Would be keen to test an RC3 --

RC2 in frugal mode
Suppressed patching from get-linux-source script and re-installed the linux sources => can now compile the kernel without any errors.
Added module ch7006 to the kernel => can now boot from sdcard.
Well, not correctly. During boot:
...
Processing: /etc/init.d/rcS...
Mounting proc filesystem on /proc [ Done ]
Mounting devtmpfs filesystem on: /dev
[....9.290409] modprobe use greatest stack depth: 5948 bytes left
mount: unknown filesystem type 'devtmpfs' [ Failed ]
starting udev deamon...
.../...
Loading Kernel modules [ Failed ]
Loading module : agpgart_intel [ Failed ]
Loading module : e1000e [ Failed ]
Loading module : ehci_hcd [ Failed ]
Loading module : snd_hda_intel [ Failed ]
Loading module : pcieport [ Failed ]
Loading module : ahci [ Failed ]
Loading module : i801_smbus [ Failed ]
At the end of boot, the system hangs with the login tazbox; keyboard is inactive, need to power off the computer.
Adding the otion screen=text , the system boot in console mode.
Login as root, modprobe manually the kernel modules above = OK.
Then startx but system hangs in the same way.
At least, it seems ch7006 is required to boot from sdcards.

Xorg doesn't start for me either, on real hardware.

It's a Dell Inspiron mini 10. Basically, it's "(EE) open /dev/fb0: No such file or directory" and in the Arch forum I found out someone deleted ~/.xinitrc then it worked. Well, after reading the content of ~/.xinitrc I found nothing strange but Xorg still didn't start even after I renamed the file.
What else can I provide to debug this issue?

Hi kneekoo,
Really I'm noob on Xorg. But searching “poulsbo” on this forum this topic is looking related: http://forum.slitaz.org/topic/syslinux-troubles-with-intel-atoms-pulsbo-and-c32boxc32
