Hi, I also have a HP Elitebook 8560w. I'd really like to see this work. Apart from the ambient light sensor function key and the double-tap to disable the touchpad everything works on this notebook.
I followed the steps on the above mentioned page. Results are: xev returns no result. $ /lib/udev/findkeyboards AT keyboard: input/event3 $ sudo /lib/udev/keymap -i input/event3 scan code: 0xDF key code: sleep (== fn+f3) scan code: 0xEE key code: switchvideomode (== fn+f4) scan code: 0xAE key code: volumedown (== fn+f6) scan code: 0xBO key code: volumeup (== fn+f7) scan code: 0x89 key code: battery (== fn+f8) scan code: 0x92 key code: brightnessdown (== fn+f9) scan code: 0x97 key code: brightnessup (== fn+f10) scan code: 0xB3 key code: f23 (== fn+f11) input.h does not define an ambient light sensor KEY_ value appropriate. Well maybe it is the following define but I don't know: #define KEY_BRIGHTNESS_ZERO 244 /* brightness off, use ambient */ $ cat /sys/class/dmi/id/sys_vendor && $ cat /sys/class/dmi/id/product_name Hewlett-Packard && HP EliteBook 8560w Looking at /lib/udev/keymaps/hewlett-packard it defines "0xB3 f23 # FIXME: Auto brightness". BTW, step 6 in /usr/share/doc/udev/README.keymap.txt(.gz for me) states "Send [....](files) to the linux-hotp...@vger.kernel.org mailing list, so that they can be included in the next release." How would I go about doing this? Attached is "udevadm info --export-db" output. If any other files or information is needed please let me know. ** Attachment added: "udev-db.txt" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-input-evdev/+bug/998489/+attachment/3248222/+files/udev-db.txt -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xserver-xorg-input-evdev in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/998489 Title: Fn+F11 does not control Ambient Light Sensor on HP 8560W To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-input-evdev/+bug/998489/+subscriptions _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
