Bryce: The unpatched eeepc module sends volume keys ass acpi events (which are currently mismapped in Ubuntu). You can work around this by changing acpi scripts. Matthew's patch send keys through the input layer doing away with ACPI altogether. Two approaches to solving the problem but I'd say Matthew's is cleaner and likely to go upstream at some point.

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
