What I also noticed: All other hotkeys generate two events of the same kind in xev while the brightness buttons generate four of them. Example output for one button pressed each:
keycode 160 = (keysym 0x1008ff2d, XF86ScreenSaver), state = 0x10 keycode 160 = (keysym 0x1008ff2d, XF86ScreenSaver), state = 0x10 keycode 122 = (keysym 0x1008ff11, XF86AudioLowerVolume), state = 0x10 keycode 122 = (keysym 0x1008ff11, XF86AudioLowerVolume), state = 0x10 keycode 123 = (keysym 0x1008ff13, XF86AudioRaiseVolume), state = 0x10 keycode 123 = (keysym 0x1008ff13, XF86AudioRaiseVolume), state = 0x10 keycode 232 = (keysym 0x1008ff03, XF86MonBrightnessDown), state = 0x10 keycode 232 = (keysym 0x1008ff03, XF86MonBrightnessDown), state = 0x10 keycode 232 = (keysym 0x1008ff03, XF86MonBrightnessDown), state = 0x10 keycode 232 = (keysym 0x1008ff03, XF86MonBrightnessDown), state = 0x10 keycode 233 = (keysym 0x1008ff02, XF86MonBrightnessUp), state = 0x10 keycode 233 = (keysym 0x1008ff02, XF86MonBrightnessUp), state = 0x10 keycode 233 = (keysym 0x1008ff02, XF86MonBrightnessUp), state = 0x10 keycode 233 = (keysym 0x1008ff02, XF86MonBrightnessUp), state = 0x10 -- Thinkpad SL510 Mute button not working https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/595896 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
