** Description changed:
When loading asus-laptop kernel modules instead of deprecated asus-acpi in
Ubuntu 7.10 special keys stop working.
From /var/log/kern.log:
Mar 7 22:02:42 localhost kernel: [ 19.408000] asus-laptop: F5N model
detected
(it will say Unsupported model with asus-acpi kernel module)
However some of the special keys stopped working, while others remained
unsupported. This includes:
- Button with asus-acpi with
asus-laptop
- Power button OK OK
- Volume up OK OK
- Volume down OK OK
- Brightness up OK OK
- Brightness down OK OK
- NumLk OK OK
- ScrLk OK
will not turn ScrollLock LED on
- Suspend OK OK
- Wireless on/off OK stopped
working with wireless LED always on
- Media player does not generate events does not generate

screen Comment: this button is non-configurable because of this
- Web browser OK OK
- Touchpad on/off does not generate events does not generate events
- Web camera does not generate events does not generate

- Fn+C does not generate events does not generate

As you can see, only the very basic keys are supported, and virtually all
Asus specific ones are broken in the new kernel module.
I am running Ubuntu 7.10 with up-to-date 2.6.22.14-generic SMP kernel.
