Bad hotkeys on Laptop Asus F3

[Francisco T.]

Some special keys doesn't work correctly in kubuntu.

My laptop is a:
ASUSTeK Computer Inc.

1.0

Now testing on Kubuntu intrepid beta:
Linux portatil 2.6.27-7-generic #1 SMP Fri Oct 17 22:24:21 UTC 2008 i686 GNU/Linux

From hardy, asus-laptop detects my laptop correctly:

Thank you for your bug report and the additional info you've provided.
I'm marking it as duplicate of bug 217504, which is about acpi_fakekey failing/being ignored, which gets called from the acpi-support scripts.

Maybe some keys doesn't work in hardy and intrepid beta because bug #217504. For example web button.

I'm waiting the fix relaesed to continue checking some special keys.

Add /etc/acpi/events/asus-media

and now, with the media key I get:
KeyRelease event, serial 34, synthetic NO, window 0x2e00001,
    root 0x7b, subw 0x0, time 3187468, (320,-102), root:(325,456),
    state 0x0, keycode 234 (keysym 0x1008ff32, XF86AudioMedia), same_screen YES,
    XLookupString gives 0 bytes:
    XFilterEvent returns: False

I can already assign the media key to amarok, for example.
