Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: hotkey-setup
This happens in Gutsy - it happened in the beta and now the final as
well. In Feisty, I used the thinkpad-base package and other ThinkPad
items in the repository and the ThinkPad's volume buttons controlled
both the hardware and software mixer, same with the mute button. The
volume up/down GUI would show on the screen when I pressed it. The
brightness keys (Fn + Home, Fn + End) would also show a brightness
meter.
However, Gutsy uses the hotkey-setup package, which fails entirely to do
anything useful. It doesn't detect my laptop, so the buttons don't
work, the volume doesn't work (well, it controls the hardware, but not
the software and there is no popup display. The brightness changes, but
the on screen display doesn't show.
The ThinkLight control does work (pidgin-thinklight, rocklight),
however, but I'm pretty sure this is handled by the ibm-acpi or
thinkpad-acpi kernel module.
** Affects: hotkey-setup (Ubuntu)
