Bug Description

Hi,

when I push the ACPI-"web-button" on my "Wortmann Terra Aura 8300"-Notebook, which is equal to the "Asus Z71V" Notbook, my system only pops up a "balloon help" which shows me power-information (i.e. power-supply, battery status), instead of starting Mozilla Firefox (as I configured it in the keyboard-shortcut-section)

This might be better off in the hotkey-setup component...

Sorry for posting in the wrong list. I decided to post here because the shell-script /etc/acpi/webbtn.sh ist included in the package acpi-support

Hello Thomas, thanks for your report.

Please can you post the 'dmidecode' and '/var/log/acpid'/'showkeycodes' output from:

  http://wiki.ubuntu.com/LaptopTestingTeam/HotkeyResearch

so that we can special case this and work whether the key is sending an ACPI event or a actual key-code.

Changed in acpi-support:
status: Unconfirmed → Needs Info

Perfect, just what I needed. The rest is a bit overkill! :)

Which special-keys to these four match up to? And do they currently work?

I think I've worked out why it's currently doing the wrong
thing---gnome-power-manager is currently grabbing that keycode when it
shouldn't be!

The WWW button was used as a placeholder for the battery one during testing. Once the correct keycode has been added to hal, everything should be fine.

Hi Paul,

:-D You never know ....

These two keys are actually only one. The key toggles the LCD-backlight and it is working very well.

This key is meant to toggle between LCD and CRT. It does not work at all

This one should toggle the mouse-pad on/off when an external mouse is attached.

There are still two keys missing - which this time actually are two keys - and also do not work. They are meant to in-/decrease the display-brightness and use a range of hotkey-event-codes as follows:

increase brightness:
hotkey ATKD 00000026 0000000b
hotkey ATKD 00000025 00000008
hotkey ATKD 00000024 00000009
hotkey ATKD 00000023 00000006
hotkey ATKD 00000022 00000006
hotkey ATKD 00000021 00000006
hotkey ATKD 00000020 00000045

decrease brightness:
hotkey ATKD 00000011 00000011
hotkey ATKD 00000012 00000006
hotkey ATKD 00000013 00000006
hotkey ATKD 00000014 00000006
hotkey ATKD 00000015 00000009
hotkey ATKD 00000016 00000008
hotkey ATKD 00000017 00000029

Which special-keys to these four match up to? And do they currently work?

Sorry for the delayed reply!

Best regards,
