You have been subscribed to a public bug: The top row of keys on this laptop are "MODE", then 5 blank keys (used for app launching in Windows), then a "SETTING" key.
xev does not show any events, nor are any events discovered by input-events. /dev/input/event4 seems to be the right place - it's named "Sony Vaio Keys". I've attached a log of the what input-events shows for 0-9. Andy Whitcroft helped me figure this out; many thanks :) ProblemType: Bug Architecture: amd64 DistroRelease: Ubuntu 9.04 HibernationDevice: RESUME=UUID=97537135-6d3c-48aa-a5a1-078f47612fa3 MachineType: Sony Corporation VGN-SR29XN_S Package: linux-image-2.6.28-11-generic 2.6.28-11.42 ProcCmdLine: root=UUID=5c82e672-37d9-4518-86ef-f2112ef6d843 ro quiet splash ProcEnviron: PATH=(custom, user) LANG=en_GB.UTF-8 SHELL=bash ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 2.6.28-11.42-generic SourcePackage: linux ** Affects: linux Importance: Unknown Status: Fix Released ** Affects: acpi-support (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: Invalid ** Affects: xkeyboard-config (Ubuntu) Importance: Medium Status: Invalid ** Tags: amd64 apport-bug -- Vaio keys not working on Sony VAIO VGN-SR29XN https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/379006 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xkeyboard-config in ubuntu. _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
