Bug Description
IMPACT:
On Hardy, the XF86Battery hotkey worked properly. It stopped working on all laptops for Intrepid.
This is a low impact problem, but a regression from Hardy
ADDRESSING:
This has been addressed in the following projects:
- Fixed in gnome power manager trunk
- Fixed in x11proto-core 7.0.14
- Fixed in libx11 head
- A bug has been filed against x11keyboard-config upstream with a patch
TEST CASE:
Any laptop that contains a key that normally emits XF86Battery can be used to reproduce this bug. Open up "xev" and watch the output when pressing XF86Battery. Keycode 244 is emitted, but no Keysym is associated with it.
REGRESSION POTENTIAL:
Very low. Most of the changes here are just adding in additional key symbols that were commented out or not included for some reason or another at Intrepid's release.

Hi,
I have the same issue with my hp compaq nc6400.
In Hardy xev showed keycode 241 for Fn+F8 while in Intrepid the keycode changed to 244 and it is no longer working.
