[Bug 450110] New: Several hotkeys not recognised on a Samsung NC10
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=450110 Summary: Several hotkeys not recognised on a Samsung NC10 Product: openSUSE 11.1 Version: Factory Platform: x86 OS/Version: Linux Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: Kernel AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: swesemeyer@hotmail.com QAContact: qa@suse.de Found By: --- I installed Opensuse Factory with KDE3 on a Samsung NC10 and the following keys are not recognised: FN+F2: should show the remaining battery FN+F5: should switch the backlight on/off FN+F9: Wifi killswitch FN+Up Arrow: brightness up FN+Down Arrow: brightness down I checked /var/log/messages for the appropriate codes and found the following: FN+F2 corresponds to e003 FN+F5 corresponds to e004 FN+F9 corresponds to e006 FN+up corresponds to e008 Fn+down corresponds to e009 However, mapping them using setkeycodes to some available keycodes works but does not generate a key release event so it appears as if the key is continuously pressed. Anything that can be done about this?

There are no events for these keys in /var/log/messages. I'm currently using Gnome. I checked my kde 3.5 test account as well and noticed that the brightness keys actually don't work (well, the brightness didn't get adjusted).
The brightness keys don't work, because there is no kernel driver providing a backlight interface in the sysfs (/sys/class/backlight/) for your machine and obviously your machine/bios don't react on the key events directly. Nothing I can do here.
So in summary, the following keys work/don't work in Gnome:
FN+F2=battery status - does not work FN+F4=external monitor switch - not tested FN+F5-backlight on/off - does not work FN+F7=Samsung Magic key - does not work (well no idea what it should do anyway) FN+F8=change CPU speed - not tested Fn+F9=Wifi kill switch - does not work Fn+F12=no idea what it should do but it prevents key presses to be displayed until pressed again Fn+Insert=Pause/Break -not tested
If they don't work its because the desktop environment don't catch/handle these events or because the X-Server can't handle them because the keycode is above 256 (The X-Server problem is know, you don't need to report it). There is nothing I can do from the HAL side. None of the keys produce a unknown scancode event in /var/log/messages. For the problem with your desktop, feel free to open a new bug against GNOME or KDE to see if they may are able to fix it. I close the bug again, since the problem in HAL was fixed. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
