Andy: With your kernel build, wireless , sound, brightness and sleep keys work OK ( just as fine as the custom build I used) on my eeepc 701.
The only change I need to get everything working out of the box is to add rfkill_input to /etc/modules (maybe some hal magic should do it for me somewhere). So I suppose with this patch applied and delivered with Ubuntu's kernel, this patch may be closed. To answer to Sitsofe remark: I see two possibilities to address the pciehp_force=1 problem: - Either, Matthew proposed patch to work around this problem should also be applied ( http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=123549146723314&w=4 ). - Or, as this option is not installed by any package on Ubuntu, only people upgrading from intrepid (or another version) and who modified their grub configuration should be impacted (I suppose such guys should also be able to remove the option). It's problematic on debian installation because it's added by the eeepc-acpi-scripts package. But this one is not installable in Ubuntu (see bugs #262679 and #328989). -- 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
