hi Yoboy I'm not sure where to start with this one so before I post the outputs of xev etc it might be worth saying that the Fujitsi Amilo 1718 Li was sold by big supermarkets namely Tesco etc and so owners trying Ubuntu might not get as far as bug reports etc before giving up but they are out there in large numbers.
The script mentioned by Alexander is a lifesaver for people like me and was written by Assaf Paz originally for a 1600 series amilo and can be found on the amilo forums as well as his damagedspline blog listed above http://www.amilo-forum.com/topic,929,60,-linux-on-amilo-li-1718.htm After a clean install of Ubuntu 8.10 and all current updates the Hotkeys that work are all accessed by using the Fn key + another so Fn+F1 should be sleep/hibernate this works but a bit too well as nothing will wake the machine up again needs fix Fn+F3 Mutes sound xev sees this and identifies it also the gnome desktop shows a graphical muted speaker Fn+F5 Volume up xev sees this identifies it and gnome desktop graphical speaker up shows Fn+F6 Volume down xev sees this and identifies it gnome desktop shops a graphical speaker down Fn+F7 brightness up Xev sees something doesn't identify it as brightness no graphical display on desktop but key works Fn+F8 brightness down xev doen't see at all no graphical display on gnome desktop but key works brightness goes down now the fancy keys for wireless internet Fan quieten none of them do anything Also because Ubuntu 8.10 misidentifies the built in wireless card it knows its atheros but goes for the wrong device id the script has to fix that. But here we are concerned with the hotkeys only so looking in /user/share/hotkeys we won't have a suitable entry for the amilo until after the script is run then we have a new entry when we issue the command hotkey -l in a terminal we find fsca16xx.def which contains the following information <?xml version="1.0"?> <definition> <config model="Fujitsu-Siemens Amilo A16xx"> <userdef keycode="129" command="/etc/acpi/fsc-cpuspeed.sh">Cool-n'-Quiet On$ <userdef keycode="147" command="/etc/acpi/fsc-wireless.sh">Wireless On/Off<$ </config> <contributor> <name>Assaf Paz</name> <email>damagedspl...@aim.com</email> </contributor> </definition> hopefully that helps you identify the keys If you give me some instructions on what you need to fix the keys and identify the model correctly on install I am only too glad to help apparently the fix using acerhk will not work on a 64bit kernel I'm pretty sure Assaf Paz would be a mine of useful information if contacted. -- Special Keys doesn't work on Fujitsu siemens amilo LI 1718 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/250732 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
