Ok... this is a crosspost, I posted it on the Linux - Client forum as well, but now I realized that that isn't the best forum to put it in, so now I'm posting it here, which is more suitable. Delete the other one if u like.

I suppose this isn't possible at the moment, at least I haven't gotten it to work.

It's really great I can use TeamSpeak on Linux, but there's 1 thing missing...

On windows I use to bind keyboard keys to action in teamspeak, like switching channels, muting etc etc.
On Linux I can do the same, BUT, most of the time I play my game on a second X11-server so that I can switch back to my normal desktop very easily.
And TeamSpeak doesn't capture any buttons that are pressed on another XServer. So I cannot control my TeamSpeak2 from my game unless I run it in the same XServer as the game. And if I do that, I can't see who's in the channel etc.

The joystick-buttons can, however, be captured wherever independently on what TTY you are. Therefore I'd find it very useful to bind those actions to buttons on my joystick so I can still perform those actions from within my game.

Any possibility to incorportate this? Thanks :)

And if not, could you at least make some of the Teamspeak actions work using command-line options?

So if teamspeak was already running, I could type:

TeamSpeak --mute-mic

and the mic would get muted. That way I can use Xmodmap to bind some multimedia key on my keyboard to execute that command and it would work as well.
