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.
