Have just installed Ubuntu Lucid Lynx (10.04) and unsurprisingly FN brightness keys didn't work. Just to remind that I have Sony FE31HR with Nvidia 7400 on board. Solution #112 leads exactly to benste's problems (#113). Also I tried the following solution (it is one solution in forum posts):
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1420341#6 http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=143025&page=4 But it doesn't work as well. So I ended with ACPI mix up solution that is OK for me: 1) put the sony.fdi file into /etc/hal/fdi/preprobe/ folder to disable HAL handlers 2) run acpi_listen and press FN+brightness-down, FN+brighntess-up and see the output. In my case the keys were FN+F5 and FN+F6 and here is my output: sony/hotkey SNC 00000001 00000010 sony/hotkey SNC 00000001 0000003b sony/hotkey SNC 00000001 00000011 sony/hotkey SNC 00000001 0000003b Thus my FN+brightness-up="SNC 00000001 00000010 " and FN+brightness-down="SNC 00000001 00000011" 3) Adjust the files sony-brightness-up and sony-brightness-down with your key codes respectively and place the files to /etc/acpi/events 4) Copy sony-brn-up and sony-brn-down to /etc/acpi 5) Reboot Now FN keys must be working. Notifications are not displayed but it is better than nothing :) Of course it is not a solution for the bug, but a some workaround anyway. ** Attachment added: "acpi_scripts.tar.gz" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/46689861/acpi_scripts.tar.gz -- sony brighness on a geforce series older than 8 (nvclock works fine) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/277589 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
