Cool, Now the question is, is how to do this while having hotplug enabled? This way we can take advantage of the new features, as well as find a workaround until applesmc is fully workable in xorg, in some way or another. The option ignoreABI changes errors into warnings, but doesn't seem to be directed to evdev. I think the first thing is to locate the xorg.conf commands then go from there. regards; -- REGRESSION: Pommed does not see brightness-up/down key events when on an X11 VT https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/257377 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Ahh so, after spending weeks,months,years trying to figure this out it ended up being a simple fix:(remember once hotplugging is disable, you need xorg.conf). Section ServerFlags Option AutoAddDevices False EndSection the cause is the removal of evdev: cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log (II) config/hal: Adding input device applesmc (**) applesmc: always reports core events (**) applesmc: Device: /dev/input/event8 (II) applesmc: Found x and y absolute axes (WW) applesmc: Don't know how to use device (II) UnloadModule: evdev ignoreABI seemed to not work for me (EE) PreInit returned NULL for applesmc (EE) config/hal: NewInputDeviceRequest failed Now to see how to have hotplugging and Xorg know what to do with applesmc: maybe some kind of eye candy mechanism!! -- REGRESSION: Pommed does not see brightness-up/down key events when on an X11 VT https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/257377 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

I just compiled pommed from source and the same issue is exhibited. :( -- REGRESSION: Pommed does not see brightness-up/down key events when on an X11 VT https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/257377 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

I to am having this behaviour. If I use the fn1 and fn2 keys in a non X VT then they work, but when in an X VT they will not work. This behaviour is also shown with the fn8-10 keys. uname -a output: Linux will-laptop 2.6.27-7-generic #1 SMP Tue Oct 14 18:40:44 UTC 2008 i686 GNU/Linux pommed -v output: pommed v1.21 ($Rev: 494 $) Apple laptops hotkeys handler lsmod | grep applesmc output:applesmc 28208 0 led_class 12164 1 applesmc input_polldev 11912 1 applesmc This done while running 8.10 Beta i386 edition -- REGRESSION: Pommed does not see brightness-up/down key events when on an X11 VT https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/257377 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

** Summary changed: - REGRESSION: Neither Pommed nor GNOME Power Manager nor HAL see brightness-up/down key events + REGRESSION: Pommed does not see brightness-up/down key events when on an X11 VT ** Description changed: Binary package hint: pommed MacBook Pro 3.1 - Since a week or so ago in Intrepid, neither pommmed, nor g-p-m, nor HAL - see brightness key events. - - Pommed and HAL don't use X keyboard stuff, while I think g-p-m does. - This may be wrong, I have only quickly scanned the sources. + Pommed uses linux/input.h, while g-p-m (which works) uses X keyboard + stuff. When on an X11 VT, the key events do not pass to Pommed. WORKAROUND: switch to a non-X VT (Ctrl+Alt+F1..6) in order to change brightness, then switch back (Alt+F7).

Hi Rydberg. I've updated the description and title to more clearly describe this bug. Please attach your patch to a more relevant bug. Well done with the patch, though. I think that needs fixing in HAL, too. -- REGRESSION: Pommed does not see brightness-up/down key events when on an X11 VT https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/257377 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
