This is very isolated code. All it does is add functionality. In fact there are very few deletions in the diffs. * There is an existing acpi solution, that's already been mentioned in this bug. I'm not sure how these users would be affected once the upgrade hits, but it was never released as an official fix. [Original Report] Pressing the new microphone mute button does not do anything. It should toggle the mute on the current capture device and toggle an led that is part of the button. acpi_listen output: ibm/hotkey HKEY 00000080 0000101b xev output: MappingNotify event, serial 34, synthetic NO, window 0x0, request MappingKeyboard, first_keycode 8, count 248 MappingNotify event, serial 34, synthetic NO, window 0x0, request MappingKeyboard, first_keycode 8, count 247 KeyPress event, serial 34, synthetic NO, window 0x3400001, root 0x118, subw 0x0, time 10334714, (317,-162), root:(322,207), state 0x0, keycode 248 (keysym 0x0, NoSymbol), same_screen YES, XLookupString gives 0 bytes: XmbLookupString gives 0 bytes: XFilterEvent returns: False KeyRelease event, serial 34, synthetic NO, window 0x3400001, root 0x118, subw 0x0, time 10334714, (317,-162), root:(322,207), state 0x0, keycode 248 (keysym 0x0, NoSymbol), same_screen YES, XLookupString gives 0 bytes: XFilterEvent returns: False To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/oem-priority/+bug/408903/+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
