I'm working on a tiny tiny mplayer frontend for pdaXii13 that will do nothing but let me use the controls available in portrait mode and save filepositions upon exit. So, apart from scroolwheel and ok + cancel, there is the five screen buttons that I'd like to be able to use in my (python) application, and then restore back to XLaunchers afterwards.
And I'd like to temporary disable screen rotation while mplayer is running, and enable it back afterwards. Anyone who ever rotated the screen while a video was playing with bvdd knows why.
I tried to run xmodmap to remap said keys but that didn't work, xmodmap says they've been remapped, but they haven't. So I need another method.
