Thanks. So it seems this is a kernel bug then, if the ioctl to set the correct key codes doesn't work, there is not much we can do about it at the udev level. At least it expains why the patch doesn't work for you. We still need it once the kernel is fixed, though.
At this point I don't know how to debug this further, I'm sorry. Handing this off to the kernel gurus. ** Also affects: linux (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Summary changed: - sony ar vgn71 brightness keys do not work correctly + sony ar vgn71: EVIOCSKEYCODE when trying to set correct key codes ** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu) Status: New => Confirmed -- sony ar vgn71: EVIOCSKEYCODE when trying to set correct key codes https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/625770 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
