Public bug reported:
Since upgrading to Intrepid, my keyboard mapping (function and
multimedia keys) is wrong and cannot be fixed using System > Preference
> Keyboard Shortcuts
The most annoying example is Fn+f6 which should lock the screen. When I
press that, it mutes the sound and when I try to remap it in Keyboard
Shortcuts, Fn+f6 is described as "XF86AudioMute", the same as the actual
audio mute multimedia button above the keyboard.
This is a problem because I do need to lock the screen when I leave my
desk to conform with guidelines at work, suspend is buggy and wont wake
up and if I sacrifice mute for lock then brushing the very sensitive
mute button will lock my screen which is obviously unacceptable.
Being a 1280x800 screen, I like to maximise the real estate available to
apps so I don't have a readily available method of locking the screen. I
really miss the shortcut key.
Also the dvd and start media player button also don't work.
These things all worked fine in Hardy.
Sorry if this is the not yet a complete report. I believe this may be
an X config issue, but I'm not entirely sure. Any info required to move
this bug to the right package, please ask.
