Precisions to my previous post as I'm back on my laptop :) * the file in method 1 is "/sys/devices/platform/sony-laptop/fnkey" (and not /bla/bla/bla/fnevent" as explained). The answers for each key are in parenthesis: FN_F2 MUTE (1), FN_F3 VOLUME DOWN (2), FN_F4 VOLUME UP (4), FN_F5 BRIGHTNESS DOWN (8), FN_F6 BRIGHTNESS UP (16), FN_F7 SWITCH DISPLAY (32), FN_F10 ZOOM (128), FN_F12 HIBERNATE (64), S1 (4096) AND S2 (8192). These numbers are the same as for sony_acpi.
* in method 2, you may also look in "/var/log/acpid" for useful messages. If it worked, you should see something in acpid. I only get an error in dmesg: [ 81.400910] atkbd.c: Unknown key pressed (translated set 2, code 0xf5 on isa0060/serio0). [ 81.400920] atkbd.c: Use 'setkeycodes e075 <keycode>' to make it known. [ 81.512947] atkbd.c: Unknown key released (translated set 2, code 0xf5 on isa0060/serio0). [ 81.512957] atkbd.c: Use 'setkeycodes e075 <keycode>' to make it known. The message is the same, whichever key I pressed. * Method 3: See http://www.linux.it/~malattia/wiki/index.php/Sony-laptop#Fn_keys_.28hotkeys.29 Output of "/var/log/Xorg.0.log": ...

So it seems to work at this stage, but I don't know what to do after in order to check if the fn-keys send signal to the X -- Gutsy Gibbon and FN keys on Sony Vaio https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/119672 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
