Bug Description

Binary package hint: devicekit

I'm using nouveau as xorg driver. The driver manage properly backlight, I can change it from the power management plasmoid (on kde), but fn keys are not working

using acpi_listen,
brightness down is giving :
sony/hotkey SNC 00000001 00000010
sony/hotkey SNC 00000001 0000003b

brightness up :
sony/hotkey SNC 00000001 00000011
sony/hotkey SNC 00000001 0000003b

in dmesg, I've seen the following, I don't know if it is linked :
ACPI: EC: missing confirmations, switch off interrupt mode.

Key codes okay, manual setting of brightness is okay, so it seems that this is somehow a bug in the KDE hotkey integration.
