My Kubuntu Maverick-based, i5 Studio 1458 also suffered from this bug. However, from KDE 4.6 RC2 on, the function keys are magically working now, ALL of them, as well as lid events. I have a stock kernel - the only "exotic" PPAs I use are maverick-backports (for KDE 4.6 release) and kubuntu-beta (for KDE 4.6 betas and RCs).
The keys now work after sleep. In fact, sleep seems more reliable than it had been, but that's ad-hoc and I have no proof. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/657338 Title: Special function keys and lid events don't work after first suspend/resume -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
