sudo /lib/udev/keymap -i input/event6 doesn't output anything Hm, that is weird, and will most probably be a kernel bug. However, just to be sure that we tested everything, could you please run it against input/event4 (the main keyboard) as well? If that doesn't react to Fn keypresses either, then as a last resort you might try all input devices from input/event0 up to the point where it says no such device. -- FN keys not working on vaio VGN-FS215E https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/6628 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. Please exercise the steps at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Hotkeys/Troubleshooting to determine at which level your hotkey problems occur, and attach the collected information. Most probably the keys will produce an unknown or wrong key code with the keymap tool, in which case you need to follow /usr/share/doc/udev/README.keymap.txt.gz to determine the scan code - key code mapping for the broken/missing keys.

I saw those comments, but they don't provide the actually interesting information. As long as the scancodes aren't recognized and it doesn't produce correct key codes, then xev can't receive anything. You have to use the keymap tool to figure out the missing scan codes. acpi_listen is rather uninteresting here as well, it's only relevant on some models which have broken kernel drivers (usually the kernel translates hotkey related ACPI events into input events). -- FN keys not working on vaio VGN-FS215E https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/6628 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

I have found this on ebay, followed and solved my problem!!! hope this will help you also Sony Vaio Hotkeys, Screen Brightness PowerPanel by: choppershaw( 2683) 23 out of 23 people found this guide helpful. Guide viewed: 2434 times Tags: Sony | Vaio | Hotkeys | Brightness | Powerpanel SONY VAIO LAPTOP 'HOTKEYS' WHY AM I WRITING THIS GUIDE? I am writing this guide to help people looking for information on setting up the 'Hotkeys' on various Sony Vaio laptops. The 'Hotkeys' are secondary functions that are symbolised in blue on your laptop keyboard across various F-keys. The 'Hotkeys' are accessed in conjunction with the FN key. These functions control basic but essential settings such as screen brightness, volume levels, monitor out etc etc. I recently needed to setup the hotkeys on a Sony Vaio Z505AP laptop following a fresh install. I spent quite a time searching for information drivers across various websites forums. It quickly became apparent that a lot of people were having problems with the same task so I felt writing this guide would be helpful to others save them alot of time. The process will vary from each Vaio model but this should hopefully save you a lot of time and make the task easier. For the two Vaio models (Z505AP Z600LEK) I recently set the Hotkeys up on, the process is similar and the theory the same. WHAT TO INSTALL? To get the Hotkeys working your Vaio laptop requires THREE different components/sets of software installed, these are: 'Hotkey drivers' 'Sony Shared Library' 'Sony Utils' Once you install these three components restart your Vaio laptop your Hotkeys should be working. These are all unobtrusive files that will only enhance your Vaio machine however alternatively you can install Sony's Powerpanel or Batteryscope programs to perform the similar features. Most these files are written for specific Vaio models however there is some overlapping and files from similar Vaio models may work with your own laptop. WHERE TO FIND THESE FILES? There are various online resources relating to this topic however the best place to find these files is the one below. ftp://ftp.vaio-link.com/pub/VAIO/ORIGINAL Using that site, find your model number download the relevant 'Utilities' file. You might also find useful the link below, which may help with this task and/or others (including RAM upgrade advice etc) http://support.vaio.sony.co.uk It took many reinstalls to work out the order and what programmes needed to be installed to get the hotkeys working I purposefully took hours doing so, noting each step I made so this guide could be written and save time for others. -- FN keys not working on vaio VGN-FS215E https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/6628 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
