Description Rui Matos 2007-10-29 01:10:30 UTC 
hal-0.5.10-1.fc8, hal-info-20071011-1.fc8, kernel-2.6.23.1-37.fc8,
xorg-x11-server-Xorg-1.3.0.0-33.fc8

The multimedia keys on this Dell Latitude D630 don't work. First I should say
that I have the dcdbas module loaded and hal restarted and just then I do the
gnome log in (see bug #248257). I'll address each one of them separately:

* Fn+F3 (battery): the fisrt time (after a reboot for instance) it works, i.e.
gnome-power-manager does it's battery status notification. Then it stops working
but xev says:

KeyRelease event, serial 30, synthetic NO, window 0x3c00001,
    root 0x13b, subw 0x0, time 3913107117, (676,142), root:(679,195),
    state 0x0, keycode 241 (keysym 0x0, NoSymbol), same_screen YES,
    XLookupString gives 0 bytes: 
    XFilterEvent returns: False

KeyPress event, serial 30, synthetic NO, window 0x3c00001,
    root 0x13b, subw 0x0, time 3913107117, (676,142), root:(679,195),
    state 0x0, keycode 241 (keysym 0x0, NoSymbol), same_screen YES,
    XLookupString gives 0 bytes: 
    XmbLookupString gives 0 bytes: 
    XFilterEvent returns: False

and it loops indefinitely.

* Fn+F7 (widesrcreen chooser?): it doesn't do anything. xev says:

KeyPress event, serial 30, synthetic NO, window 0x4000001,
    root 0x13b, subw 0x0, time 3913434902, (497,559), root:(500,612),
    state 0x8, keycode 214 (keysym 0x1008ff59, XF86Display), same_screen YES,
    XLookupString gives 0 bytes: 
    XmbLookupString gives 0 bytes: 
    XFilterEvent returns: False

KeyRelease event, serial 30, synthetic NO, window 0x4000001,
    root 0x13b, subw 0x0, time 3913434971, (497,559), root:(500,612),
    state 0x8, keycode 214 (keysym 0x1008ff59, XF86Display), same_screen YES,
    XLookupString gives 0 bytes: 
    XFilterEvent returns: False

and it loops indefinitely.

* Fn+F8 (crt/lcd): xev doen't say anything. The kernel says:

Oct 29 00:58:25 hive kernel: atkbd.c: Unknown key pressed (translated set 2,
code 0x8b on isa0060/serio0).
Oct 29 00:58:25 hive kernel: atkbd.c: Use 'setkeycodes e00b <keycode>' to make
it known.

* Fn+Left Arrow (auto brightness): doesn't do anything. xev:

KeyRelease event, serial 30, synthetic NO, window 0x4000001,
    root 0x13b, subw 0x0, time 3913670876, (613,701), root:(616,754),
    state 0x8, keycode 205 (keysym 0x0, NoSymbol), same_screen YES,
    XLookupString gives 0 bytes: 
    XFilterEvent returns: False

KeyPress event, serial 30, synthetic NO, window 0x4000001,
    root 0x13b, subw 0x0, time 3913670876, (613,701), root:(616,754),
    state 0x8, keycode 205 (keysym 0x0, NoSymbol), same_screen YES,
    XLookupString gives 0 bytes: 
    XmbLookupString gives 0 bytes: 
    XFilterEvent returns: False

and it continues...

* Fn+Up Arrow and Down Arrow (brightness up & down): they do work (I guess it's
bios/hardware based) and the first time each one of them is pressed gnome shows
the brightness progress bar. Then the progress bar stops showing up but the
brightness regulation continues to work. gnome-power-manager settings is able to
also set the brightness but it doesn't update itself when I use the keys.
xev output for Up:

KeyRelease event, serial 30, synthetic NO, window 0x4000001,
    root 0x13b, subw 0x0, time 3913941627, (276,707), root:(279,760),
    state 0x8, keycode 212 (keysym 0x0, NoSymbol), same_screen YES,

    XLookupString gives 0 bytes: 
    XmbLookupString gives 0 bytes: 
    XFilterEvent returns: False

... loops...

* Volume Down/Up/Mute: these don't work. xev catches them and these don't loop
indefinitely. Here is the output for Down, Up and Mute (by that order):

That is all, please ask if you need more info. Thanks.
Comment 1 Rui Matos 2007-10-29 01:20:42 UTC 
I forgot one key, the kill switch and the power button.

The kill switch seems to work. xev doesn't catch it but network manager does and
works (for wireless, haven't tested for bluetooth).

Power button works, I see the (old?) gnome-session logout dialog.

* Fn+F1 (moon symbol): this one should be the "suspend button" according to
gnome-power-manager preferences' General tab. It did work the first time
although g-p-m recognised it as the hibernate button and hibernated while on the
setting it was programmed to suspend. It did come back (both hibernate and
suspend work OK) though.

After this first successful time it stops working. xev output loops this:

    state 0x0, keycode 165 (keysym 0x0, NoSymbol), same_screen YES,
    XLookupString gives 0 bytes: 
    XFilterEvent returns: False

    XLookupString gives 0 bytes:

    XFilterEvent returns: False
Comment 2 Rui Matos 2007-11-15 00:20:58 UTC 
Volume Up/Down/Mute are working correctly on Fedora 8 now.
Comment 3 Richard Hughes 2008-05-30 11:36:42 UTC 
Are all the other buttons working correctly now?
Comment 4 Rui Matos 2008-05-30 13:07:39 UTC 
Yes, now using Fedora 9 everything I need works. Furthermore, xev no longer
shows events coming up in a loop after having used any of the keys.

* Fn+Left arrow (Auto brightness according to the ambient light sensor) doesn't
do anything. I suppose gnome-power-manager doesn't have code to deal with it.
Not important to me anyway.

* Fn+F7 (widescreen/4:3 chooser) doesn't do anything.

* Fn+F8 (video ouput chooser) doesn't do anything.
 - kernel reports:

code 0x8b on isa0060/serio0).
May 30 13:55:47 hive kernel: atkbd.c: Use 'setkeycodes e00b <keycode>' to make
it known.
Comment 5 Richard Hughes 2008-05-30 14:34:18 UTC 
Cool, Fn+F7 should be integrated with xrandr in the near future - I'll close
this, thanks.
