[Bug 1397739] Re: [HP Compaq nx6310] Function buttons for brightness stopped working

2014-12-26 Thread Marcus Pollice
Shouldn't it rather go to platform-driver-x86 given the hp-wmi driver
seems to be the culprit as the bisection has shown?

As the instructions advise I would CC the maintainer and the committer
(since it is a regression) as well.

2014-12-22 Thread Marcus Pollice
During the bisection I came across something that may be interesting
with regard to the issue. While a freshly booted kernel with the issue
has the functionality non-working, after going into standby and waking
up it works as it did before. I verified that also with the 3.18 release
kernel. This information may later be helpful when it comes to actually
fixing the issue.

2014-12-22 Thread Marcus Pollice
The offending commit is
http://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/?id=f82bdd0d77b6bf0dea08a1d957ab45d503f328b1

Since the BIOS of the laptop is from 2008 (but still the latest), it is
obvious that after that change it won't work anymore. It would be
interesting to know why upstream wanted to exclude pre-2009.

[Bug 1397739] Re: Function buttons for brightness etc stopped to work

2014-12-01 Thread Marcus Pollice
I ran a test with kernel 3.18-rc7-vivid where the problem persists. I
ran another test with 3.15.10-utopic where the functionality is as it
was in the 3.13 release. So I assume the issue was introduced in the
3.16 series.

[Bug 1397739] [NEW] Function buttons for brightness etc stopped to work

2014-11-30 Thread Marcus Pollice
Public bug reported:

In 14.04 using kernel 3.13 the special function buttons of this HP
Compaq nx6310 laptop used to work correctly. I could increase or
decrease brightness, invoke the battery settings (mostly useless but it
worked), switch to an external display or enter sleep mode. The key
functions are invoked using Fn + the key with the designated function as
listed below.

Fn + F3 - Sleep - button/sleep SBTN 0080  K
Fn + F4 - Switch to external display - video/switchmode VMOD 0080 
Fn + F8 - Battery information - button/battery BAT 0080  K
Fn + F9 - Brightness down - video/brightnessdown BRTDN 0087 
Fn + F10 - Brightness up - video/brightnessup BRTUP 0086 

I went through the troubleshooting steps described at
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Hotkeys/Troubleshooting. In 14.10 none of these
buttons work. Using acpi_listen I found that no events are fired in
14.10, but under 14.04 these buttons do indeed fire ACPI events and thus
work correctly. The ACPI events listed above are fired in 14.04 using
kernel 3.13 but are not fired under 14.10 using kernel 3.16.

Using xbacklight I can still change the brightness in 14.10, if that
information is of any help.
