the kernel people don't seem to agree on how to handle these things yet, see the thread:
http://lkml.org/lkml/2007/10/15/388 so I think it should be made possible in userspace to handle such events (volume up/down notifications etc) as either normal keypresses to be acted upon or just notifications that firmware has just done something. in the latter case the notification shouldn't be tied to any action except bringing up (in this case) a hardware volume disply window, or how is it called. -- thinkpad volume keys control microphone - gutsy https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/136287 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
