Public bug reported: Binary package hint: hal-info
As in 8.10, the key that is supposed to deactivate the touchpad on my Compaq Presario CQ70 is not working in 9.04 Beta. This key is located just above the touchpad, and when activated should deactivate the touchpad. The color of the button is white, and when pressed changes to red/orange, but apart of this color change, it has no effect. I have followed the directions on https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Hotkeys/Troubleshooting and went until step 9. This is the output I get from sudo input-events 4: [code] sudo input-events 4 /dev/input/event4 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 22:11:35.630829: EV_MSC code=4 value=156 22:11:35.630847: EV_KEY KEY_KPENTER (0x60) released 22:11:35.630850: EV_SYN code=0 value=0 22:11:37.473023: EV_MSC code=4 value=216 22:11:37.473056: EV_SYN code=0 value=0 22:11:37.479393: EV_MSC code=4 value=216 22:11:37.479420: EV_SYN code=0 value=0 22:11:40.252551: EV_MSC code=4 value=217 22:11:40.252573: EV_KEY KEY_HELP (0x8a) pressed 22:11:40.252580: EV_SYN code=0 value=0 22:11:40.259384: EV_MSC code=4 value=217 22:11:40.259405: EV_KEY KEY_HELP (0x8a) released [/code] What I conclude from this are 2 things: - when pressing the key the first time (deactivated -> activated), the key is recognized as 216 and has an unknown symbolic key name - however when pressing it for the second time, it is recognized as 217 and has the name of "EV_KEY KEY_HELP" Does anyone have an idea how to fix this? I have attached all the recommended Useful Information: hal-find-by-capability --capability input | xargs -n1 lshal -u > lshal.log lshal |grep system.hardware > lshal_hardware.log dmesg > dmesg.log sudo lsinput > lsinput.log xkbcomp -xkb :0 - > xkbcomp.txt setxkbmap -print > xkbmap.txt Note: xkbcomp -xkb :0 generated the following warning message: Warning: Could not load keyboard geometry for :0 BadAlloc (insufficient resources for operation) Resulting keymap file will not describe geometry Thanks, Emilien.
