Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. Please exercise the steps at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Hotkeys/Troubleshooting to determine at which level your hotkey problems occur, and attach the collected information. Most probably the keys will produce an unknown or wrong key code with the keymap tool, in which case you need to follow /usr/share/doc/udev/README.keymap.txt.gz to determine the scan code - key code mapping for the broken/missing keys.

Hi again, A suggestion from a fellow Ubuntu forum visitor pointed me to the old posting: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=465491 I figure that information that he requested back then might be relevant and useful for this bug report. So I attach it here also.

[Bug 498706] Re: lucid kubuntu sony vaio brightness key doesn't work
I have this problem also, but in Gnome. I assume this is shared functionality, and isn't KDE or gnome specific With Karmic, the brightness functionality worked fine. In lucid, so far, as of very late alpha 3 (updated fully on 19th of March) The 'make brighter' key combination seems to work but the 'make less bright' doesn't. In both cases I see the notification box pop up, but in the case of 'make less bright' it just shows. Since my brightness is on FULL already, 'make brighter' makes that 'hit the end' bump kind of look on the notification. Make less bright just shows it.. but no change in brightness on screen, and no change in reported brightness in notification window. -- lucid kubuntu sony vaio brightness key doesn't work https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/498706 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
