if its asu or 2008.08 - AUX is a grabbed key - the wm grabs it for screenlock.
that means its already taken as a global key (just like pressing alt+tab on
your desktop will begin to cycle windows, but the app will NEVER SEE alt+tab
as its "stolen" for another use). this is keybinding configuration for e/illume
(you can change bindings, but you'd lose the quick AUX lock. same for power
button).
