Re: [Bug 429351] Re: Samsung N120 Brightness controls don't work (Jaunty+Karmic)
Shouldn't this be posted as a different bug? 10.10 seems to be working for me with my N120, which the original bug was about. Shouldn't you make a new one for the n210? Because this one seems solved. I think it would be better for everyone if you made a new one, generically for samsung laptops (instead of just the n120) and for Maverick and Lucid instead of Jaunty and Karmic. 2010/9/22 Xavier Gnata xavier.gn...@gmail.com: ** Changed in: hal-info (Ubuntu) Status: New = Confirmed -- Samsung N120 Brightness controls don't work (Jaunty+Karmic) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/429351 You received this bug notification because you are a direct subscriber of the bug.

Well this is interesting. I installed Fortunato's package and the brightness panel applet now works.

[Bug 429351] Re: Samsung N120 Brightness controls don't work (Jaunty+Karmic)
To enable the FN keys, you need to edit the file
'/lib/udev/rules.d/95-keymap.rules', search for the string 'NC10', then
add your model to the list of Samsung models.
In other words, modify the line:
ENV{DMI_VENDOR}==[sS][aA][mM][sS][uU][nN][gG]*,
ATTR{[dmi/id]product_name}==*NC10*|*NC20*|*SP55S*|...
in:
ENV{DMI_VENDOR}==[sS][aA][mM][sS][uU][nN][gG]*,
ATTR{[dmi/id]product_name}==*NC10*|*NC20*|*N120*|*SP55S*|...
If after a reboot you notice that some FN keys are stucked and don't get
released after they are used, this means the kernel needs to be patched for
proper support, like for other Samsung models.
Let me know if this is the case: since I'm already building a patched kernel
for other models, I can easily add support for the N120 too.
