I have an HP dv6500 laptop, and I can confirm that the DVD key doesn't work. Following this page (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Hotkeys/Troubleshooting) this is a bug in hal because the keycode is greater than 255. Indeed, xev cannot detect anything, but input-events do :
$ sudo input-events 5 /dev/input/event5 bustype : BUS_I8042 vendor : 0x1 product : 0x1 version : 43841 name : "AT Translated Set 2 keyboard" phys : "isa0060/serio0/input0" bits ev : EV_SYN EV_KEY EV_MSC EV_LED EV_REP waiting for events [...] 00:36:48.717739: EV_MSC code=4 value=142 00:36:48.717758: EV_KEY KEY_DVD (0x185) pressed 00:36:48.717763: EV_SYN code=0 value=0 00:36:48.727695: EV_MSC code=4 value=142 00:36:48.727706: EV_KEY KEY_DVD (0x185) released 00:36:48.727710: EV_SYN code=0 value=0 [...] and you can see that the keycode is 0x185 > 0xFF. -- Broken hotkeys on HP Pavilion dv6500 laptop https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/278859 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
