Obviously you changed the X keyboard configuration on openSUSE 10.3 by using setxkbmap or some frontend like kcontrol (KDE) or gnome-keyboard-properties (Gnome). Here you selected "inet(microsoftpro)" or similar (check again with 'setxkbmap -print') as keyboard model. -- 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.

another question, how can i workaround to have the same 'xmodmap -pke' output from suse 11 and 10.3 ?
As already said use an internet keyboard model. See my comment #11. You can set this also with SaX2. I suggest to open a seperate bugreport for the keys no longer detected, since this seems to be a kernel issue, which I cannot investigate. -- 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.

As andrea said, it did work out-of-the-box in 10.3 and stopped working in 11.0. I was also affected by this regression on my ASUS laptop, and after going through the issue, I would say there are multiple problems and multiple solutions. So read on for a detailed technical explanation and my suggestions to fix this :-) In 10.3, the hotkey-setup package was used to support multimedia/laptop keys. >From what I've seen, it did the following: - use setkeycodes in *.hk files to bind scancodes to keycodes, depending on the laptop model - launch a kind of "ACPI-to-INPUT proxy" daemon (acpi-keys) to convert ACPI notifications from laptop drivers without a proper INPUT subsystem (like asus-laptop) to actual keys - provide an xmodmap file to bind keycodes to keysyms (not sure how it was really applied though) No matter what keyboard type was selected in SaX2/xorg.conf, hotkeys were properly recognized (so no need for a personal .xmodmap in the home folder). It "just worked". However, this hotkey-setup package was removed in 11.0. I can easily understand why, as a developer: it's very hackish and would be a burden in the future, and just doesn't do things the right way: 1. the keycode-to-scancodes conversion should be supported in X out-of-the-box 2. the ACPI proxy is just Bad because the laptop driver itself should act as an input driver (making maintenance easier because the key mappings would be done by the driver and/or by HAL). For 1, I believe the solution was to make the 'microsoftpro' keyboard type the default in SaX2. This has been done in bug #210881 - BUT not for some keyboards! indeed, there are still several pc102 keyboards there for French, Italian, Spanish and other keyboards. This explains why I (fr-latin1 keyboard) and Andrea (it keyboard) are affected by the problem, but not people with US or German keyboards for example. I have reopened bug #210881 in hope this will be fixed for 11.1 (if not already done in Factory). For 2, there is really no proper solution until someone updates the laptop driver, AFAIK. For 11.0 the only fix is to install hotkey-setup (even though the Xmodmap hacks shouldn't be needed with the microsoftpro keyboard). For 11.1, I'm not sure what would be an acceptable solution if laptop drivers are still not updated: use a temporary solution (acpi-keys) that "just works" for the User, or purposefully keep it broken to raise attention to the problem? Anyway, to sum up all this, in openSUSE 11.0 people only have working laptop hotkeys if they have a microsoftpro default keyboard (depending on language) AND have a laptop driver using the INPUT subsystem. For any other case, they're screwed and see it as a regression, as hotkey-setup provided this functionality in 10.3. -- 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.

I run 11.0. I had hotkey-setup installed and volume buttons working. I think a recent update somehow killed that. So I went searching for it again. zypper showed it available (from packman) so I did 'zypper in hotkey-setup'. zypper said "nothing to do". Never did figure out why. I went searching. hotkey-setup was not available from either the OSS repo or the Update repo. How is this fixed (for 11.0) if it is not available from openSuSE, nor is it a "required" package (I would have made it a Req. for any laptop-only packages). So here's the situation for our users now: Laptop buttons don't work for sound, etc.; no package is installable from YaST to make them work; This bug entry is extremely hard to find unless you know EXACTLY what the problem is beforehand. Can we just put out an update to kbd rpm that has hotkey-setup as a req. (and put hotkey-setup rpm into the repo)? That way the fix gets out there and we aren't requiring newbies to learn the intricacies of HAL events, etc. or gain the sudden ability to search our bug list like a master? I REALLY REALLY want to re-open this bug, but I know that I am not perfect and may have overlooked or misunderstood something, so I will wait until somebody lets me know whats going on. -- 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.

As this bug has already quite a lot of comments of various people I advice you to open a new bug, stating that your hotkeys are not working, providing the information what laptop you're using and we'll track this down. Regarding hotkey-setup: We've dropped that as its functionality now lives in hal. It's sad that we have a regression for you system, but that's how things are and I'm sure we'll find a way to fix it for your system without the need of bringing hotkey-setup back to life :-) So, please go ahead, open a new bug against 11.1, add Danny (dkukawka at novell dot com) an me to CC.

Hal wasn't doing it's job then. I got sound back when I went out and found hotkey-setup (again), manually downloaded it, and installed it. I'll see about a new bug report after I upgrade the D620 to 11.1. Right now it runs in a VirtualBox session, so it isn't really seeing the true hardware, etc. -- 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.

Not a solution. Because of that it was dropped and superior solutions have been put into place (fix up kernel drivers, add system specific bits into hal-info). I'm sorry that your ASUS hotkeys are not yet working. However, I've tried hard to get this done for 11.1. Unfortunately it didn't make it into the final release. Please head over to bug 448004 and keep yourself in cc to get informed about the progress. This bug here is a dead horse.
