I found the problem; but from latest xorg developments, it does not seem to be easily solved: http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/xorg/2008-August/037728.html
In fact the wireless hotkey is working well when used in console mode, but when xorg with evdev is launched, it prevents rfkill_input to grab KEW_WLAN events and everything stops working. It seems there are may be some ways to get hal doing the job: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=10979 -- EeePC Volume and Wireless Hotkeys Do Not Function Out-Of-The-Box with Ubuntu (8.04 Hardy LTS, Intrepid Alpha 1) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/232170 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
