Alkis,

Can you please create a new bug report and include the output of lshal

I tried to compare your fdi against the current version, but it's quite
an unintelligible delta. I reduced it to

I have fixed the bluetooth key problem by using the fdi here
http://launchpadlibrarian.net/20159357/30-keymap-acer.fdi .
I have read bug 332548, but am not sure what I am meant to do with it!
Can you give us a clue?

Fix Fn+Arrow
In the first bug report (https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/hal-
info/+bug/281951) I've uploaded the .fdi file which works fine with my
Acer 5920G laptop, after spending hours on it.
I'm attaching here the latest version, you may use it if you like.
It fixes the bluetooth key.
Also, it
OK, what now works for me is:
Using Alkis' fdi, and adding:
acpi_backlight=vendor
to the boot parameters in menu.lst. I guess that using that fdi
overwrites any changes I made by downloading the patch from Martin, but
there you go! Now it's perfect.

You can go to
http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/h/hal-info/
and install the latest version (from jaunty) by clicking on it (you'll
get gdebi).
Eventually we'll backport newer hal-infos
OK, I tested this, and it sort of works OK.
Output from one brightness down followed by one brightness up press:
[CODE]~$ xev |grep keycode
request MappingKeyboard, first_keycode 8, count 247
request MappingKeyboard, first_keycode 8, count 248
request MappingKeyboard, first_keycode
On my laptop (Acer TravelMate 6292), the bug is fixed : Fn+Arrow Right
(Brightness Up key) doesn't send plusminus any more. And I don't see
any regressions.
FokkerCharlie :
For the bluetooth key that change brightness, did you see that bug #327614 ?
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/327614
Under Intrepid, it also works : no plusminus anymore when pressing Fn+Arrow
Right (Brightness Up key).
I have done some tests : I don't see any regressions for now. Looks goods for
my laptop model (Acer TravelMate 6292) :-)
