--- Comment #2 from Andrej Lazo
To see whether it's a kernel issue, try the following: - Install evtest package - Go to Linux console (e.g. VT1), be root. - Run evtest /dev/input/by-path/platform-i8042-serio-0-event-kbd (the device path might be different, but you must have a similar one.) - Press brightness up/down key.
If this shows the proper key events (KEY_BRIGHTNESSUP and KEY_BRIGHTNESSDOWN), then the kernel reports correctly. The problem is rather in the upper layer, either X or KDE. If the keys aren't reported, then it's a kernel problem.
As I wrote it is working on 13.1 - I have reinstalled old ver. to show something. I ran "evtest /dev/input/by-path/platform-i8042-serio-0-event-kbd" on 13.1 but that returns nothing even on 13.1. As I wrote on 13.1 there is problem in upper level (KDE) but in 13.2 - there is no response on fn (f7/f8 - brightness) keys (using xev). ######################## in 13.1 it works - in 13.2 it doesn't ! -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
