[Bug 628471] New: FN+ WLan Switch, Brightness controls on Samsung NC10 not working
http://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=628471 http://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=628471#c0 Summary: FN+ WLan Switch, Brightness controls on Samsung NC10 not working Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE 11.3 Version: Final Platform: i686 OS/Version: openSUSE 11.3 Status: NEW Severity: Minor Priority: P5 - None Component: X.Org AssignedTo: bnc-team-xorg-bugs@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: swesemeyer@hotmail.com QAContact: xorg-maintainer-bugs@forge.provo.novell.com Found By: --- Blocker: --- User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.9.1.11) Gecko/20100714 SUSE/3.5.11-0.1.1 Firefox/3.5.11 The following 3 keys are not working as expected: FN+F9=XF86WLAN FN+Up=XF86MonBrightnessUp FN+Down=XF86MonBrightnessDown After a fresh install none of them work as expected. xev recognises them with the correct keypress event but no action is taken Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Install Opensuse on Samsung NC10 2.Press FN+F9, FN+Up, FN+Down 3. Actual Results: nothing happens Expected Results: FN+F9: Toggle Wlan on/off Fn+Up: brightness up Fn+Down:brightness down I have the latest BIOS installed as well. I can map xbacklight -10 to the appropriate key combination using KDE's system setting. However xbacklight +10 does not work and I need to use xbacklight set=100. Both of which I can live with. However, those keys work out-of-the box in Fedora 12 running on that laptop as well and the brightness keys even have an on-screen display indicating the brightness level. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

The following 3 keys are not working as expected: FN+F9=XF86WLAN FN+Up=XF86MonBrightnessUp FN+Down=XF86MonBrightnessDown
After a fresh install none of them work as expected. xev recognises them with the correct keypress event but no action is taken
I assume that you're using KDE, right? For brightness to work, you have to map these keys to run commands xbacklight +10 and xbacklight -10 Unfortunately, the BIOS of this machine doesn't have ACPI calls for brightness, and KDE only uses the /sys/class/backlight/ interface. The intel driver exports the backlight over the "Backlight" RandR property, even if they are not available over the ACPI interface, but only via legacy programming. I don't have a solution for the wireless key so far. But it's less important. I'm assigning this to KDE for the brightness keys (note that the radeon driver's developer won't support the Backlight property interface, so *both* possibilities have to be implemented). Wireless would need a different bug, because it's probably a completely different issue. Could be the wireless chip's driver doesn't support rfkill yet... -- 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.
