** Changed in: gnome-settings-daemon (Ubuntu Precise)
Status: Triaged => In Progress
** Description changed:
+ Impact:
+ the multimedia keys will stop working when using the new xorg stack (which is
being backported for hardware enablement reasons)
+
+ Test Case:
+ - install xserver-xorg-lts-quantal
+ - try using multimedia keys (stop, play, run media player, ...)
+ - see if they work
+
+ Regression potential:
+ Try with both the lts stack and the backported stack of those keys are
working correctly

After upgrading from 12.04 to 12.10, none of the hotkeys/media keys on
my keyboard are no longer functional. Specifically, the brightness
up/dn, volume up/dn/mute, keyboard backlight up/dn/off keys and the
media control keys (rew/play/ff) don't work perform the expected
functions.
I've confirmed that the underlying functionality works- for example I can
adjust the keyboard backlight from the command line via:
`echo 0 > /sys/class/leds/smc\:\:kbd_backlight/brightness`
Machine is a MacbookPro 3,1 with an external Apple USB keyboard. Hotkeys
are non-functional on both the internal and external keyboards.
To reproduce:
1) Press the volume mute hotkey
Expected results:
Mute is toggled, and the indicator + OSD are displayed reflecting the new
volume state
Actual results:
Nothing happens
xev (run from gnome terminal) reports the following when I press the
volume mute hotkey:
KeyPress event, serial 41, synthetic NO, window 0x4000001,
