Volume icon doesn't change to a "red cross" when pressing Mute FN key

[Mauro]

I'm on a HP 6730s (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LaptopTestingTeam/HPCompaq6730s) and Ubuntu 9.10

It seems XEV is unable to detect FN+F9 combination (mute the volume on my keyboard).
Beside of this, when pressing FN+F9 the volume toggles mute/unmute, but nothing on the tray icon of KMix happens.

Expected behaviour: FN+F9 should change the volume icon to a "red crossed" speaker.

The problem affects KMix 3.6alpha2 (KDE 4.3.80), but it won't work with ANY desktop manager (any version).

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. This bug did not have a package associated with it, which is important for ensuring that it gets looked at by the proper developers. You can learn more about finding the right package at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/FindRightPackage , so I have classified this bug as a bug in linux package.

Hi Mauro,

This bug was reported a while ago and there hasn't been any activity in it recently. We were wondering if this is still an issue? Can you try with the latest development release of Ubuntu? ISO CD images are available from http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/releases/ .

If it remains an issue, could you run the following command from a Terminal (Applications->Accessories->Terminal). It will automatically gather and attach updated debug information to this report.

apport-collect -p linux 497003

Also, if you could test the latest upstream kernel available that would be great. It will allow additional upstream developers to examine the issue. Refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds . Once you've tested the upstream kernel, please remove the 'needs-upstream-testing' tag. This can be done by clicking on the yellow pencil icon next to the tag located at the bottom of the bug description and deleting the 'needs-upstream-testing' text. Please let us know your results.

Thanks in advance.

I think I have done with the apport-collect -p linux 497003.
