Is it just that they aren't recognised by the OS, or do they not
actually adjust the volume either? A recent hotkey-setup change disabled
the mapping of these keys:
hotkey-setup (0.1-23ubuntu10) jaunty; urgency=low
* Drop the override of the hotkey mask for ThinkPads. This is currently
used for brightness keys, volume keys, and the ThinkVantage button:
- the ThinkVantage button is part of the default mask now
- brightness events are exposed via a different ACPI input device now,
so don't need to be overridden
- overriding the volume keys causes double-stepping of the volume,
because the volume was also being adjusted in the hardware mixer, which
we can't disable - so we don't want these keys exposed for now.
LP: #355300.
* Also drop the thinkpad-keys daemon; a look at the thinkpad-acpi
source indicates that this will never trigger at present, because
the hotkey mask from the kernel always includes the
ThinkVantage/IBMAccess key if the module loads at all, so this is
dead code and no one is reporting any issues.
* This leaves only setting of /proc/acpi/video/*/DOS as a function of this
package. This should be moved to be a kernel default, at which point
we can drop this package.
** Changed in: hotkey-setup (Ubuntu)
Status: New => Incomplete
