Description of problem: On the Advent 4213, some of the fn action keys do not work. Some do, including bluetooth, vol+, vol-, standbye, brightness. However mute , and silent mode & camera do not. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Latest; [root@smallfry ~]# rpm -qa | grep kernel kerneloops-0.12-1.fc10.i386 kernel-2.6.27.5-117.fc10.i686 kernel-firmware-2.6.27.12-170.2.5.fc10.noarch kernel-2.6.27.12-170.2.5.fc10.i686 kernel-headers-2.6.27.12-170.2.5.fc10.i386 Steps to Reproduce: 1. Get a 4213 2. Install fc10 3. Update via yum Note sure what info you need, however when they keys are pressed, the following messages are shown in dmesg; atkbd.c: Unknown key pressed (translated set 2, code 0xf9 on isa0060/serio0). atkbd.c: Use 'setkeycodes e079 <keycode>' to make it known. atkbd.c: Unknown key released (translated set 2, code 0xf9 on isa0060/serio0). atkbd.c: Use 'setkeycodes e079 <keycode>' to make it known. atkbd.c: Unknown key pressed (translated set 2, code 0xac on isa0060/serio0). atkbd.c: Use 'setkeycodes e02c <keycode>' to make it known. atkbd.c: Unknown key released (translated set 2, code 0xac on isa0060/serio0). atkbd.c: Use 'setkeycodes e02c <keycode>' to make it known. atkbd.c: Unknown key pressed (translated set 2, code 0xbd on isa0060/serio0). atkbd.c: Use 'setkeycodes e03d <keycode>' to make it known. atkbd.c: Unknown key released (translated set 2, code 0xbd on isa0060/serio0). atkbd.c: Use 'setkeycodes e03d <keycode>' to make it known.
what happens if you do a 'setkeycodes e079 code" where each of the non working ones maps through to the equivalent X key code. the command 'xmodmap -pke' will give you the current mapping for your machine. EG mute is keycode 121 reassigning this to xkeyboard-config as its not a kernel issue and I think its better suited.
Thanks for the bug report. We have reviewed the information you have provided above, and there is some additional information we require that will be helpful in our diagnosis of this issue. Please attach your X server config file (/etc/X11/xorg.conf, if available) and X server log file (/var/log/Xorg.*.log) to the bug report as individual uncompressed file attachments using the bugzilla file attachment link below. We will review this issue again once you've had a chance to attach this information. Thanks in advance.
A bit more info about what's up here and how to fix it: http://people.freedesktop.org/~hughsient/quirk/quirk-keymap-index.html Basically you need to remap the codes to the matching keys as defined in /usr/include/linux/input.h. The page above has the instructions.
I've an MSI Wind U-100 (of which the Advent 4213 is an oem version) and together with the latest MSI bios, all the hotkeys work fine in F-11. So I believe this bug can be closed.
The Advent 4211 is an OEM version of the MSI Wind U-100, not the 4212 & 4213. None the less, I have tested with FC11, and all seems to work fine, barring the 'Quite Mode' which isn't really needed as Fedora steps down of it's own accord, so this feautre isn't needed. I'd consider this closed.
