Eythian: You aren't going to be able to get the wireless hotkey working without support within the kernel itself (support that is not in the released Intrepid kernel) or some pretty nasty hacks (assuming it emits an ACPI event). You can try monitoring the acpi log file to see whether this is the case.

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
