Public bug reported: Binary package hint: hal
Today I have tried 9.04 and noticed that the "presentation" hotkey is not recognized by any X application. I have followed the instructions at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Hotkeys/Troubleshooting to find out the source of the problem. Switched to console and ran "sudo input-events <devnum> ". It detected the keypress and release events correcly: /dev/input/event4 bustype : BUS_I8042 vendor : 0x1 product : 0x1 version : 43841 name : "AT Translated Set 2 keyboard" phys : "isa0060/serio0/input0" bits ev : EV_SYN EV_KEY EV_MSC EV_LED EV_REP waiting for events 14:51:36.552036: EV_MSC code=4 value=5 14:51:36.552059: EV_KEY KEY_4 (0x5) released 14:51:36.552063: EV_SYN code=0 value=0 14:51:36.592134: EV_MSC code=4 value=28 14:51:36.592154: EV_KEY KEY_ENTER (0x1c) released 14:51:36.592158: EV_SYN code=0 value=0 14:51:38.158941: EV_MSC code=4 value=136 14:51:38.158959: EV_KEY KEY_PRESENTATION (0x1a9) pressed 14:51:38.158964: EV_SYN code=0 value=0 14:51:38.250182: EV_MSC code=4 value=136 14:51:38.250199: EV_KEY KEY_PRESENTATION (0x1a9) released 14:51:38.250204: EV_SYN code=0 value=0 It means that the KEY_PRESENTATION key is mapped to a keycode (0x1a9) that is outside the range permitted by X input. $ grep KEY_PRESENTATION /usr/include/linux/input.h #define KEY_PRESENTATION 0x1a9 /* AL Presentation App */ HW: HP Compaq nc6400 SW: Ubuntu 9.04 Beta ii xserver-xorg-input-evdev 1:2.1.1-1ubuntu3 X.Org X server -- evdev input driver ii hal 0.5.12~rc1+git20090204-0ubuntu4 Hardware Abstraction Layer ii hal-info 20090227-0ubuntu1 Hardware Abstraction Layer - fdi files ** Affects: hal (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- "presentation" hotkey does not work with evdev https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/359103 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
