This bug also affects me on an Asus eee-pc 1005HA. FN key and special key have no effect.
After some investigations, I found that the acpi script getXuser (in /usr/share/acpi-support/power-funcs) presuppose that the .Xauthority file can be found under the user home folder. But, with latest version of GDM, the Xauthority data are located in /var/run/gdm/auth-for-<user>-<variable>/database. This file can be retrieved by parsing the X command line (see attached patch). Hope this helps ** Patch added: "power-funcs.patch" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/acpi-support/+bug/314376/+attachment/1694811/+files/power-funcs.patch -- asus touchpad toggling doesn't work (synclient) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/314376 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
