Package: hal
Version: 0.5.8.1-4
Severity: normal
As the title says, please see bug #400267.
A short summary: hald-addon-acpi-buttons-toshiba, which is only loaded
on machines with smbios.system.manufacturer = 'TOSHIBA', eats most
events generated when pressing any of the Fn-keys but does not pass
them on to HAL. fnfx gets almost no events so it takes up to 10 key
presses for fnfx to actually see this and react.
Stopping hald-addon-acpi-buttons-toshiba from starting resolves the
issue and fnfx works as expected again.
A solution proposed by Timo Hoenig, author of fnfx, would be to remove
hald-addon-acpi-buttons-toshiba altogether, or, if depended upon by
e.g. gnome-power-manager to fix hald-addon-acpi-buttons-toshiba to
relay everything to HAL so that this information can be used by
e.g. ivman.

I just double checked. Since version 0.5.9, the 10-toshiba-buttons.fdi
file is only installed when compiled *with* the --enable-acpi-toshiba
configure option. As the standard Debian packages don't do that, we can
consider this issue closed and you can remove your old diversion.

Michael
