I'll file a bug as soon as I figure out the exact component. It is definetly gnome though. 1) acpi-support daemon is catching the acpi event and running the eject.bn which does acpi_fakekey 2) when I try to run acpi_fakekey (with the eject key parm) as root .. gnome does nothing 3) acpi_fakekey isn't broken because running "acpi_fakey 2" puts a "1" in my terminal terminal window (this is equivalent of pressing the 1 key on the keyboard).
Anyone with a laptop or is using acpi events that then use acpi_fakekey are going to see this. Now it's a matter of what in Gnome regressed to cause it not to pick up certain special keys. -- [patch] add support for the ACPI eject hotkey on Lenovo laptops https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/194609 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
