Binary package hint: udev
If i press Mute button (Fn + F7) it does nothing except of crashing gnome. If i do ctrl+alt+F1 and go back then i can see the icon muted and gnome unstuck. But mute button seems to do nothing from this point.
Button worked on previous Ubuntu version up to lucid or maverick, but im not sure which one it is.
Some testing gives:
sudo /lib/udev/keymap -i input/event2
scan code: 0xA0 key code: mute

I have upgraded to natty and this problem still exists. Also would like to point this is a regression.
