Description of problem: Running F7 on a Dell Latitude D610. I'm try to get the Fn-F8 video switch to work, but currently it does nothing. The "video" module is loaded: input: Video Bus as /class/input/input10 ACPI: Video Device [VID1] (multi-head: yes rom: no post: no) input: Video Bus as /class/input/input11 ACPI: Video Device [VID2] (multi-head: yes rom: no post: no) But I see nothing in /var/log/apcid when I push the key. I do get this in /var/log/messages: Feb 25 11:32:09 iiwi kernel: atkbd.c: Unknown key pressed (translated set 2, code 0x8b on isa0060/serio0). Feb 25 11:32:09 iiwi kernel: atkbd.c: Use 'setkeycodes e00b <keycode>' to make it known. Nothing in /var/log/Xorg.0.log Where does this need to get configured? Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): kernel-2.6.23.15-80.fc7

on f8, hal picks up this info from /usr/share/hal/fdi/information/10freedesktop/30-keymap-dell.fdi with this entry .. <match key="/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/computer:system.hardware.product" contains="D610"> <append key="input.keymap.data" type="strlist">e005:brightnessdown</append> <!-- Fn+Down arrow Brightness Down --> <append key="input.keymap.data" type="strlist">e006:brightnessup</append> <!-- Fn+Up arrow Brightness Up --> <append key="input.keymap.data" type="strlist">e007:battery</append> <!-- Fn+F3 battery icon --> <append key="input.keymap.data" type="strlist">e008:wlan</append> <!-- Fn+F2 Turn On/Off Wireless --> <append key="input.keymap.data" type="strlist">e009:ejectclosecd</append> <!-- Fn+F10 Eject CD --> <append key="input.keymap.data" type="strlist">e00a:suspend</append> <!-- Fn+F1 hibernate --> <append key="input.keymap.data" type="strlist">e00b:displaytoggle</append> <!-- Fn+F8 CRT/LCD --> <append key="info.capabilities" type="strlist">input.keymap</append> </match> I guess the hal-info package is out of date in F7.
This message is a reminder that Fedora 7 is nearing the end of life. Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 7. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained.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 '7'. 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 7'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 7 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. 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. If possible, it is recommended that you try the newest available Fedora distribution to see if your bug still exists. Please read the Release Notes for the newest Fedora distribution to make sure it will meet your needs: http://docs.fedoraproject.org/release-notes/ The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
Fedora 7 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on June 13, 2008. Fedora 7 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
