Hi all! I recently bought a R510 laptop, installed jaunty onto, and encoutered the same problem... I had it finally working, perhaps not the properly way, but working... Here's how I did: at boot time, I add to attach keycodes to the brightness keys (adding fdi definitions in hal does not seem to work): . /usr/share/acpi-support/key-constants setkeycodes e009 $KEY_BRIGHTNESSDOWN setkeycodes e008 $KEY_BRIGHTNESSUP (tu put in bootmisc.sh or another script in /etc/init.d you then add to the runlevel scripts)
Then there is another problem, the same encoutered here: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/hal-info/+bug/295251 : the key release event is not sent... So I patched the kernel, using same code as here: http://kernel.ubuntu.com/git?p=ubuntu/ubuntu-jaunty.git;a=commit;h=b6edef2ac7b84ba90192ec1b8947949ebc99e99c , but I put DMI_MATCH(DMI_PRODUCT_NAME, "R510/P510") instead of DMI_MATCH(DMI_PRODUCT_NAME, "SQ45S70S") I recompiled the kernel (using http://blog.avirtualhome.com/2009/04/29 /how-to-compile-a-kernel-for-ubuntu-jaunty/) After that, the key works, but brightness does no adjust, it seeems there is a bug/missing feature in the nvidia driver. After some googling, I tried smartdimmer (using nvclock should also work), and that one works. I wrote a little script (brightness.sh, see attachment), and then binded the brightness down/up keys to that script, using the gnome key-binding utility. I currently do not have other key working yet (wifi on/off, backlight...), I will try to have them working and keep you informed. cheers, -manu ** Attachment added: "brightness.sh" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/27271257/brightness.sh -- brightness hardware control on Samsung R510 doesn't work https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/297962 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
