Bug Description

http://www.logitech.com/de-at/keyboards/keyboard-mice-combos/devices/3072

Tested in LucidLynx

The music keys work well but not the key starting RhythmBox. The calculator starts well and the powersaving keys works well, too.
The mail button starts evolution. But the zoom-in-button, the zoom-out-button, the keys starting nautilus, a photo manager, the button for changing the windows, and the FN+F1 to F12 (exept the FN+F9 (Mail)) don't work.
And there is no output in xev.

I have another wireless keyboard, a Microsoft Wireless Keyboard 3000. I have always used the FN keys without problems, but now it seems that FN does not work as before.

I have noticed that the FN key usage has been somehow inverted. This keyboard has on all FN key a special function associated with, that can be activated by pressing another key (F Bloc). Now I can use FN keys as normally did before only activating this special function, as if the F Bloc key meaning has been inverted.

Hope this solve also your issue, also if I think it is still a bug.

Hi bernie,

Please be sure to confirm this issue exists with the latest development release of Ubuntu. ISO CD images are available from http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily/current/ . If the issue remains, please 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 607973

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.

Hi,
I tried on the Live-CD of Ubuntu of August, 12th and there its the same as in Ubuntu Lucid, many special keys don't work properly. Then I tried on the Mainline Kernel 'v2.6.35-maverick' and there its almost the same, the difference is that Fn+F1 starts the information about die accu (should be Fn+F11), and Fn+F7 starts antulus instead of the browser.
I hope, I gave enough information.

Thnaks,

Bernie
