Hi Pavithran, It was just fine for me when I am using Lenny stable (2.6.26). I think this is a new bug starting from 2.6.30 kernel... I am not sure.
This is a little off-topic, but actually a "clean install" of squeeze already has most hotkey support by default without any additional package installed (Squeeze does not have installer yet, so what I mean is actually a clean install of lenny then full-upgrade to squeeze). fn +f1 (sleep) fn+f3/f4 (brightness) fn+f7/f8/f9 (speaker) works just fine by default. What does not work is fn+f2 (wifi) and fn+f5 (external monitor), nothing happen when pressed. After installing eeepc-acpi-scripts, fn+f5 works, fn+f2 freeze :) Vic On Mon, 2009-08-24 at 15:25 +0100, pavithran wrote: > 2009/8/24 Alan Jenkins <[email protected]>: > > That sounds like "rt2860: kernel freezes completely when turning off WiFi" > > <http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=13390>. > > > > So you're not the first to report this.
