My old work laptop had a problem with its motherboard which necessitated me getting a new laptop, which is now a Latitude D810. I recently installed Kubuntu Dapper Flight 4 and have noticed a vast improvement in the functionality of Kubuntu. However I still have some issues and visited the Latitude D810 wiki page to see what other, if any, problems people were having and I am finding that Ubuntu and Kubuntu differ somewhat in how they handle the different function keys, etc.
First off, upon closing the lid my laptop now suspends which is a great improvement. I could never get it to work correctly on Dell Inspiron 5150 even while using Dapper. Secondly I still have some issue with the different function keys. Fn + Esc is Standby -- functions correctly Fn + F1 is Hiberante -- Doesn't work Fn + F2 should turn off the wireless card, but turns off KBluetoothD and the bluetooth indicator goes out Fn+F3 is for the battery and works correctly Fn+Num Lk should turn on/off the scroll lock but does not work. Fn+Page Up should turn up the sound, doesn't work Fn+Page Dn should turn the sound down, doesn't work Fn+End should mute, but doesn't work Fn+Up increases the brightness which works correctly Fn+Down decreases the brightness which works correctly I have also noticed that the mouse speed of the touchpad is extremly slow compared to the trackpoint. I looked into updating the wiki page but the author of the page asked him to be contacted but his email bounced for me. I was also wondering how much of the testing for the laptop team occurs on Kubuntu? -- laptop-testing-team mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/laptop-testing-team
