Fedora have a fix for the volume keys that works for my upstream kernel too - https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=451182 . It also enables support for the wifi hotkey too (with the caveat that wifi will always been enabled on boot and that you have to use the pciehp.pciehp_force=1 boot parameter). Very elegant too.

Status in “acpi-support” source package in Ubuntu: New Status in “linux” source package in Ubuntu: Triaged Status in “acpi-support” source package in Debian: Fix Released Bug description: The Asus EeePC is a popular subnotebook computer. With a fresh install of Ubuntu 8.04 LTS (Hardy Heron) the wireless (fn+f2) and volume hotkeys (fn+f7/f8/f9) do not function. Expected function: fn+f2: Toggle wireless fn+f7: Mute/Unmute fn+f8: Volume up fn+f9: Volume down Workarounds are documented here: Wireless Hotkey: http://wiki.eeeuser.com/getting_ubuntu_8.04_to_work_perfectly#wifi_hotkeys Volume Hotkeys: http://wiki.eeeuser.com/getting_ubuntu_8.04_to_work_perfectly#hotkeys Although I have not had much success at getting these working myself. 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
