After some more tests, the display button works well, and emits XF86Display event which is OK (except that if you do not bind this key to some desktop events, it is used a volume up).
So, Mattew's patch is working well on a eeepc 701, given that you tweak a little bit you modules: - load pciehp with pciehp_force=1 - load rfkill_input (although that one only works if you switch to the console) Seems this patch has been submitted upstream: http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/8/4/316 -- 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. 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
