** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu Jaunty) Status: In Progress => Fix Committed
** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu Intrepid) Importance: Undecided => Low Status: New => In Progress ** Description changed: Since Intrepid, volume keys of Zepto Znote 6625WD don't work correctly as already mentioned here (also in 32bit): https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/278103 However, a fix for the 6615WD has been already released (look for Zepto): http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.6/ChangeLog-2.6.27.8 I figured out that this fix would also fix the 6625WD's problem so the kernel just needs apply the fix for this model. I attached a diff to widen the DMI signature to target the 6625WD, too (tested with mine, works fine). There are users of the 6615WD model who still have this bug: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/261721/comments/20 Seems like Zepto changed DMI entries in newer models of the 6615WD. I obtained the dmidecode output of such a user and widened the DMI signature to target those models also (tested by a user, works fine). Users with a Fujitsu Amilo Xi 2428 are also affected by this bug but the mute key is also broken. I added a new method for fixing this notebook and added the DMI signature as well (tested by a user, works fine). There seem to be more Notebooks with this bug: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-input-evdev/+bug/291612/comments/8 - Toshiba Satellite Pro U300 - Toshiba Satellite U305 For each model the DMI signature hast to be added and maybe a specific fixup method has to be implemented. If those users post their output of "dmidecode" and "showkey -s" (virtual terminal) for each problematic key, I can try to add their models to the patch, too. However, both 6615WD models and the 6625WD need the same already implemented fixup method so I just linked the DMI signatures to that method. Probably this patch needs to be applied to the Jaunty kernel as well. Some testing results can be found here (german): http://forum.ubuntuusers.de/topic/intrepid-multimediatasten-laustaerke/ This is my first kernel hack and my first bug report ever, so I wonder if I should file a bug report to kernel.org myself or will you guys do the job for me? :) + + === + + SRU Justification + + Impact: volume and brightness keys auto-repeat forever rendering + brightness and volume controls mostly usless + + Fix Description: add quirks for these laptops to prevent them repeating + + Patch: http://kernel.ubuntu.com/git?p=ubuntu/ubuntu- + jaunty.git;a=commit;h=baad507a2aca0f997f01f964e03f79c4ec622cf4 + + Risks: this is a model specific quirk and has been tested by a number of + affected users + + TEST CASE: see bug ** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu Intrepid) Status: In Progress => Fix Committed ** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu Intrepid) Assignee: (unassigned) => Andy Whitcroft (apw) -- Problematic volume control keys and mute key of several notebooks + Patch https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/330259 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
