Public bug reported: The "assist" and "vaio" buttons on Sony Vaio F series laptops are not recognized (although ACPI events are still sent).
In checking dmesg, I receive the following errors: For the assist button: [84044.545156] sony-laptop: Unknown event: 0x100 0xa6 [84044.946497] sony-laptop: Unknown event: 0x100 0x26 For the Vaio button: [84119.820688] sony-laptop: Unknown event: 0x100 0xa5 [84119.940642] sony-laptop: Unknown event: 0x100 0x25 These are consistent with a keypress and a key release. I have included a patch to sony-laptop.c (contained in drivers/platform/x86 in the Linux source). This patch was written for 2.6.35, but works on 2.6.37 (downloaded tonight from http://packages.ubuntu.com/natty/linux-source-2.6.37). ** Affects: linux (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: sony-laptop -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/695919 Title: Sony F series "assist" and "vaio" buttons not recognized by sony-laptop -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
