Some more info...
Using xev with the newly mapped keys I find that when I press FN+F2 (the
battery power symbol), it generates a continuous stream of keypress and
keyrelease events for the keycode 241 which I can only stop by pressing another
key (eg 'a'). After that xev does not register any more events for Fn+F2 when
it gets pressed again.
The only way of getting xev to register the events again is by temporarily
switch to a console (CTRL+ALT+F1 say) and then back to the graphics console
again (CTRL+ALT+F7). Doing that and pressing FN+F2 again results in the
continuous stream of keypress and keyrelease events again.
Doing the same for FN+Up (Brightness up) results in the same behaviour, eg xev
registers a continuous stream of keypress and keyrelease events for keycode 212
but the brightness only increases with each individual physical keypress.
Incidentally, I also have Fedora 10 installed on this laptop and it seems to
use a similar hal keyboard mapping set-up for the NC10 but here the brightness
keeps on increasing when I press the FN+Up key once which seems to indicate
that the continuous stream of keypress and keyrelease events actually gets
used.
Not sure whether this is hal problem anymore or a just a rubbish BIOS
(probably)...
Cheers,
Steve
