** Description changed:

- While on earlier releases of ubuntu all hotkeys on my hpnx6110 were
- working as expected, in intrepid the battery key is not handled anymore
- when using X. When I switch to console and press the key-combination and
- then I switch back to X-session, the battery info is shown. lshal -m
- issues on console the right event while under X it does not display
- anything.
+ IMPACT:
+ On Hardy, the XF86Battery hotkey worked properly.  It stopped working on all 
laptops for Intrepid.
+ This is a low impact problem, but a regression from Hardy
  
- xev is reporting the keycode 244 for the battery key, while this should
- be AFAIK 236 (as it is on console).
+ ADDRESSING:
+ This has been addressed in the following projects:
+  - Fixed in gnome power manager trunk
+  - Fixed in x11proto-core 7.0.14
+  - Fixed in libx11 head
+  - A bug has been filed against x11keyboard-config upstream with a patch
+ 
+ TEST CASE:
+ Any laptop that contains a key that normally emits XF86Battery can be used to 
reproduce this bug.  Open up "xev" and watch the output when pressing 
XF86Battery.  Keycode 244 is emitted, but no Keysym is associated with it.
+ 
+ REGRESSION POTENTIAL:
+ Very low.  Most of the changes here are just adding in additional key symbols 
that were commented out or not included for some reason or another at 
Intrepid's release.
