This is definitely not a hotkey-setup issue; the hotkey-setup package only handles setting kernel keymaps for hotkeys, and is deprecated in favor of hal-info besides.
I had the opportunity this week to test out hotkey mappings on a variety of laptops, including one Sony Vaio, and the brightness keys appear to be recognized correctly as keys - and the brightness was adjusted as well. I don't know if this was an nvidia-based system, but at least I didn't see any evidence that the keypresses themselves were not recognized correctly. If you have reason to think that the keypresses are not being recognized on your system (as opposed to us just not having a good way to *handle* those keypresses on Ubuntu), please follow https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Hotkeys/Troubleshooting and report back with your results. ** Changed in: hotkey-setup (Ubuntu) Status: In Progress => Invalid ** Changed in: hal (Ubuntu) Status: New => Invalid ** Changed in: nvidia-graphics-drivers-177 (Ubuntu) Status: In Progress => New ** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu) Status: In Progress => New -- No Screen Backlight Control; Notebooks (Vaio, Macbook, HP/Compaq, Samsung, Zepto et al.) with Nvidia Geforce8/Geforce9/Quadro series graphics https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/95444 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
