Description of problem: Thinkpad Volume control keys has double effect. How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Login to the computer(T42 Thinkpad) 2. Press the volume lower (XF86AudioLowerVolume) key of the computer Actual results: A window show up to notify that gnome is tuning the volume. Unfortunately, the true volume I actually get is different from the one shown in the window. The reason is that IBM Embeded controller has capture the button press event and decrease its inchip volume setting, while gnome lowering the volume of the master sound card. Both of the two lowering has effect. Expected results: the volume is only lowered by either of the controller, instead of both.
NOTE: It doesn't affact T61. T61 is troubled by a different problem, when an external sound card is plugged in. Maybe we should invent a quirk in hal like laptop_panel.brightness_in_hardware or something?
This message is a reminder that Fedora 8 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 8. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '8'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 8's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 8 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this bug to the applicable version. If you are unable to change the version, please add a comment here and someone will do it for you. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
