Title: Hotkeys not functional after upgrade to quantal's xorg (new xinput version) Status in Gnome Settings Daemon: Fix Released Status in “gnome-settings-daemon” package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in “gnome-settings-daemon” source package in Precise: Fix Committed Bug description: 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, root 0x15d, subw 0x0, time 6834066, (118,-23), root:(184,698), state 0x0, keycode 121 (keysym 0x1008ff12, XF86AudioMute), same_screen YES, XLookupString gives 0 bytes: XmbLookupString gives 0 bytes: XFilterEvent returns: False KeyRelease event, serial 41, synthetic NO, window 0x4000001, root 0x15d, subw 0x0, time 6834162, (118,-23), root:(184,698), state 0x0, keycode 121 (keysym 0x1008ff12, XF86AudioMute), same_screen YES, XLookupString gives 0 bytes: XFilterEvent returns: False ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 12.10 Package: gnome-settings-daemon 3.4.2-0ubuntu6 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 3.5.0-8.8-generic 3.5.0 Uname: Linux 3.5.0-8-generic x86_64 ApportVersion: 2.4-0ubuntu6 Architecture: amd64 Date: Tue Aug 7 13:44:02 2012 InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 10.10 "Maverick Meerkat" - Beta amd64 (20100901.1) ProcEnviron: TERM=xterm PATH=(custom, user) LANG=en_US.UTF-8 SHELL=/bin/bash SourcePackage: gnome-settings-daemon UpgradeStatus: Upgraded to quantal on 2012-08-07 (0 days ago) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/gnome-settings-daemon/+bug/1034090/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages Post to : desktop-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
