I have the same problem in Ubuntu 7.10 with a Sony Vaio PCG-FR315S. Function keys do cause key events, however these aren't mapped to anything.
Non-functioning keys are: Mute (Fn+F3), Volume (Fn+F4), Brightness (Fn+F5), Video output select VGA/LCD (Fn+F7), Hibernate (Fn+F12) All of the above are useful and should really be working out-of-box. -- Sony FN keys don't work https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/155293 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
