Running Ubuntu 8.10 with latest updates installed. Running point #2 shows that an event is not seen on Fn+F4. Tried running it also form console, but it complained about being unable to open the display.
I've realised that trying to switch to external monitor only works from the console (CTRL+ALT+F1). Any idea why it takes 2 keypresses to activate the console? The first attempt brings me back into X. Output of #4 is attached below. At #7 I tried every input, 0-8 worked. Only input 1 sensed anything while pressing Fn+F4, but it also reacted to other keypresses. I would have attached the full output of the #7 command, but for some reason every time I try to redirect it to a file, the file stays empty. I'll try to reproduce it here: EV_NSC code=4 value=62 EV_SYN code=0 value=0 This is what always appears for Fn+F4. As you can see in the outout of #4, there's no input.keys for input 1 and input.x11_driver is set to evdev, but X doesn't see it so this would mean filing a bug against hal. For the remaining part of #7, issuing "cat /usr/include/linux/input.h | grep EV_NSC" finds nothing, while issuing "cat /usr/include/linux/input.h | grep EV_SYN" finds "#define EV_SYN 0x00". For #9, the value needed is up above. the output of "lshal | grep system.hardware" is attached below. #10, no other input devices reacts to Fn+F2. #11-13 not needed. Please instruct me further on how and what to test. ** Attachment added: "hal-find-by-capability.log" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/21993703/hal-find-by-capability.log -- Fn+F4 doesn't switch to ext monitor Compaq 4020us (all other Fn keys fine) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/43293 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
