PTT key in Leopard

Gearson · 11-04-2007, 04:02 PM

I have a Kensington SlimType keyboard. After installing Leopard, I am no longer able to use my F15 key as my PTT key. It allowed me to use my F13 key instead, but now my mac often beeps at me when I use that PTT key, depending on what program is frontmost at the time. This makes using ventrilo very annoying.
I would really prefer to use my F15 key for PTT, or at least the F13 key. Does anyone know of any work-around? Any help would be appreciated.

I can't even get F1 to work much less anything else that used to work on this Apple Bluetooth Keyboard; am I doing something wrong? May be a Leopard-specific key binding issue, or?

Thanks.

I used to use F15 as well and it's not working now. I can use shift-F15 which is kinda weird.

Go into Keyboard/Mouse control panel and make sure F14 and F15 aren't setup to do screen brightness (scroll all the way down). Mine got enabled with Leopard install and once I disabled them they starting working in Ventrilo again.
