I have a 701 4G Surf. I'm running the latest "daily" of Intrepid - updated this morning. Confirming that hot-keys do not work.
F1 (Suspend) disables networking momentarily, and then restores it. Here is what I catch in /var/log/messages ... Sep 17 10:12:24 ray-laptop gnome-power-manager: (ray) Hibernating computer. Reason: The suspend button has been pressed. Sep 17 10:12:29 ray-laptop kernel: [ 208.652012] ADDRCONF(NETDEV_UP): eth0: link is not ready Sep 17 10:12:29 ray-laptop kernel: [ 208.826229] ADDRCONF(NETDEV_UP): wlan0: link is not ready Sep 17 10:12:29 ray-laptop kernel: [ 208.826448] ADDRCONF(NETDEV_CHANGE): wlan0: link becomes ready Sep 17 10:12:29 ray-laptop gnome-power-manager: (ray) Resuming computer F2 (Wireless Toggle) - Pressing has no effect, no logged output. F3/F4 (Brightness) - Work fine! F5 (External display toggle), F6 (application button) - No desired effect, no fault found. F7 (mute), F8 (Volume up), F9 (Volume down) - No effect, no logged output. Should these hotkeys be controlled with the eeepc_laptop driver? I cannot find an answer on this anywhere. It seems that eeepc-acpi has been deprecated in favor of this new module. If that is the case, is there a better place to report eeepc_laptop bugs? I will do whatever I can to help this effort. :-) rayhaque(at) Gmail(dot) com. -- EeePC Volume and Wireless Hotkeys Do Not Function Out-Of-The-Box with Ubuntu (8.04 Hardy LTS, Intrepid Alpha 1) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/232170 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu EEEPC, which is a direct subscriber.

It would be great if these would work out-of-the-box with 8.04.1 or Intrepid. _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-eeepc Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-eeepc More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
