Status in “udev-extras” source package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: Binary package hint: hal-info i've attached a tar.gz with as much info i could get about the Fn buttons in my Asus EEE 1000H. i've tested them against 2.6.30-rc6 kernel (and rc8 too). The archive includes information according the links below https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Hotkeys/Troubleshooting http://martinpitt.wordpress.com/2009/05/08/devicekit-update-future-handling-of-fn-key-maps/ Here is a screenshot of the keyboard http://img15.imageshack.us/img15/2141/asuseeepc1000h.jpg ------------- Summary ------------------ = default configuration 2.6.30-rc6 mainline kernel = * [Works=Yes] Fn+F1 Hibernate * [Works=NO] Fn+F2 WLAN-toggle * [Works=Yes] Fn+F5 Brightness Up * [Works=Yes] Fn+F6 Brightness Down * [Works=NO] Fn+F7 Lock screen * [Works=NO] Fn+F8 VGA-toggle --> runs Volume Up instead * [Works=NO] Fn+F9 Taskmanager --> runs ??? instead (i think it disables power manager!) * [Works=Yes] Fn+F10 Mute Volume * [Works=Yes] Fn+F11 Volume Down * [Works=Yes] Fn+F12 Volume Up * [Works=Yes] 1. hotkey Suspend * [Works=NO] 2. hotkey * [Works=NO] 3. hotkey * [Works=NO] 4. hotkey = default configuration (2.6.30-rc6 mainline kernel) (udev-extras installed from Martin Pitt's PPA) = the test results was the same as aboce, no difference at all (at least this is good for Martin's udev switch :-D) Currently i use elmurato's scripts from http://forum.eeeuser.com/viewtopic.php?id=65606 to do what the above buttons supposed to do. If it is helpful, you can download his scripts from here http://www.informatik.uni-bremen.de/~elmurato/EeePC/Jaunty_Eeeasy-Scripts.tar.gz to see how he is doing it. Below i post the default configuration from the the Eeeasy scripts: * Fn+F1 Standby * Fn+F2 WLAN-toggle * Fn+F5/F6 Brightness * Fn+F7 Lock screen * Fn+F8 VGA-toggle * Fn+F9 Taskmanager * Fn+F10/F11/F12 Volume * 1. hotkey Lock screen * 2. hotkey Bluetooth-toggle or user-defined * 3. hotkey Webcam-toggle or user-defined * 4. hotkey CPU frequency control or user-defined Other Fn buttons on the keyboard that worked on both HAL and udev-extras tests: * [Works=Yes] Fn+Ins NumLock * [Works=Yes] Fn+Ins ScrollLock * [Works=Yes] Fn+LeftArrow Home * [Works=Yes] Fn+RightArrow End * [Works=Yes] Fn+UpArrow PageUp * [Works=Yes] Fn+UpArrow PageDown * [Works=Yes] Fn+7 7 * [Works=Yes] Fn+8 8 * [Works=Yes] Fn+9 9 * [Works=Yes] Fn+0 * * [Works=Yes] Fn+U 4 * [Works=Yes] Fn+I 5 * [Works=Yes] Fn+O 6 * [Works=Yes] Fn+P - # the minus symbol * [Works=Yes] Fn+J 1 * [Works=Yes] Fn+K 2 * [Works=Yes] Fn+L 3 * [Works=Yes] Fn+: + # the plus symbol * [Works=Yes] Fn+M 0 * [Works=Yes] Fn+> , # the comma symbol * [Works=Yes] Fn+? / # the slash symbol If more info is needed, please ask! I'm willing to make this buttons work! If more testing is needed please quide me. And one last thing: as far as i can undestand there are different teams/packages that are responsible for the different Fn Buttons states. (xev-udev-hal-gnome power management-kernel) Can the bug-triage team subscribe those teams too in my bug-report? i don't know exactly who to add here...
