Not sure if this is the correct category, but i'm pretty sure this is a software issue. Anyway, I have i iMac G4 ("lamp") running osx 10.4.11 tiger. Earlyer i used a standard "windows-keyboard" because it was the only thing i had. The keyboard had some hardware keys for Volume, play and pause. These keys worked like a charm on my iMac and the Scroll-Lock and Pause/Break keys could adjust the brightness and F12 opened the cd-tray.
Lately i got a wired aluminium keyboard -the small one without a numpad, and none of the hotkeys are working. When i press F12 (volume up) the dashboard pops up. When i press F11 (volume down), it shows the desktop. F4 (dashboard) have no effect at all, regardless if i press the FN key or not. I've tried to check/uncheck "Use the function keys (F1, F2 etc"... with no result.
I've also upgraded to apple keyboard software 1.2.
The Media keys (back/forward/play) does not work either.
This is kinda weird, since these functions worked with my cheap, low end windows keyboard, but not with a orginal apple keyboard....
Any suggestions?
Please excuse my poor english
