Fix to make hotkey-setup working with Compaq Evo N620c

[Michał Cieślicki]

This is a feature request followed by a solution for subject - competent developer.

To allow hotkey-setup properly work with Compaq Evo N620c change the 52nd line of /etc/init.d/hotkey-setup from:
Armada*E500*)
to:
Armada*E500*|Evo\ N620*), so lines from 50 to 56 look like the following:

 50 Compaq*)
 51 case "$name" in
 52 Armada*E500*|Evo\ N620*)
 53 . /usr/share/hotkey-setup/compaq.hk
 54 ;;
 55 esac
 56 ;;

Thanks very much for that Michał. Can you confirm that once the change is made the four hotkeys at the top all work correctly?

Are there any other hotkeys on your laptop that we don't know about? From the notes in the 'compaq.hk' file the E500 has Web, Home, Search, Mail keys.

BTW, an even faster way to show what has changed is by making a patch with the 'diff' program by saving the original and then doing:

  diff -u /etc/init.d/hotkey-setup.orig /etc/init.d/hotkey-setup

They do all work in ubuntu. However in kubuntu, only search and mail seems to
work. Info key (i) which is mapped to www browser seems not to work. Also
home key doesn't work. I think it is the matter of kde specific key mappings.

There are volume up / down keys, which were previously supported by dapper in
ubuntu and now are in edgy supported in both kubuntu and ubuntu.

I will do so in the future :-)

Is this still an issue in Feisty/Gutsy ?
