Public bug reported:
On a dell E1505 laptop, in both feisty and gutsy, using KDE, the keys
for eject (Fn-F10) and hibernate (Fn-F1) do not work. Also, the laptop
lid cannot be disabled from blanking the screen. On Gnome, these
function keys work properly. Also, on gnome-power-manager, when I
select "do nothing" for laptop lid, it works properly.
I checked the keys using konsole in KDE to be sure they're detected
properly, and they are, as shown:
paul :~$ lshal -m
Start monitoring devicelist:
-------------------------------------------------
Fn-F10 gives : platform_i8042_i8042_KBD_port_logicaldev_input condition
ButtonPressed = eject-cd
Fn-F1 gives : platform_i8042_i8042_KBD_port_logicaldev_input condition
ButtonPressed = hibernate
paul :~$ xev | grep -A2 --line-buffered '^KeyRelease' | sed -n '/keycode
/s/^.*keycode \([0-9]*\).* (.*, \(.*\)).*$/\1 \2/p'
Fn-F10 gives : 204 XF86Eject
Fn-F1 gives : 165 XF86Sleep
The laptop lid button problem occurs with an external monitor connected.
In gnome, disabling blanking the screen on the lid button works, but not
in KDE. On gutsy it's kde-guidance-powermanager
0.8.0svn20070727-0ubuntu2.
Here's proof of the kde config settings, but still the lid closure
blanks the external monitor.
paul :~$ cat .kde/share/config/power-managerrc
