[04:02] <condor9> hello... question about ubuntu 7.10 on a thinkpad, can anyone help?
[11:55] <Crys_> hello
[11:56] <Crys_> I'm having trouble with the hotkeys and fn keys of my Asus Laptop on 7.10
[11:57] <Crys_> dmi code is: ASUSTEK L5C 1.0
[11:57] <Crys_> The hotkeys and functions keys are emitting ACPI events but I don't see keyboard events
[12:05] <MagicFab> There are quite a number of bugs for different models in LP: https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bugs?field.searchtext=asustek&orderby=-importance&search=Search&field.status%3Alist=NEW&field.status%3Alist=INCOMPLETE_WITH_RESPONSE&field.status%3Alist=CONFIRMED&field.status%3Alist=TRIAGED&field.status%3Alist=INPROGRESS&field.status%3Alist=FIXCOMMITTED&field.assignee=&field.bug_reporter=&field.omit_dupes=on&field.has_patch=&field.has_n

[12:06] <MagicFab> Is L5C the laptop model ?
[12:07] <MagicFab> I see it is. Can't find anything specific to it, however looking at other asustek + keyboard bugs may hint you to asolution
[12:09] <Crys_> thx
[12:09] <Crys_> /etc/acpi/events/asus-volume-up says event=hotkey ATKD 00000030
[12:10] <Crys_> however the acpid log says received event "hotkey HOTK 00000030 00000003"
[12:14] <Crys_> aah :)
[12:14] <Crys_> gotcha
[12:17] <Crys_> my laptop emits HOTK instead of ATKD events
[12:18] <Crys_> I'Ve replaced some strings, restared acpid and it works
