[INTREPID] Regressions in hotkeys for Acer TM6292

[Fred]

Binary package hint: hotkey-setup

In Intrepid, several hotkeys for my laptop Acer TM6292 does not work anymore as expected.
 * Fn-F4 was mapped to XF86Standby (keycode 223). Now it is mapped to XF86Sleep (keycode 150). I do not know if it is important since it works but maybe there is a difference between XF86Sleep and XF86Standby.

* FN+ArrowRight (Brightness up) is now mapped to plusminus (keycode 126) instead of XF86MonBrightnessUp

* The Bluetooth communication button/indicator is now mapped to alternatively NoSymbol (keycode 245) then XF86MonBrightnessUp (keycode 233). The button still works but when i disabled bluetooth, it also brightens my screen :-)

* The "Web browser" hotkey was mapped to XF86WWW (keycode 178). Now it is mapped to XF86HomePage (keycode 180).

If you need more information, do not hesitate to ask.

Acer TM6292 is a new model, and the driver acerhk.ko is old and supports old models (up to 2005 year). Maybe the problem is in the driver. Maybe this driver should be updated, or we could modprobe acerhk force_series=(something)...

I also have problems with my Acer TM2424. However, I like that Fn+F4 is for hibernating and not for stand by. For "stand by" you can close the lid. My problem is that Fn+left increases brigtness, and Fn+Right decreases it. However, at the same time, the bios does the opposite. The bios and a driver (is it acerhk.ko or another driver?..) are changing brightness in opposite directions (the screens blinks while changing brightness). The rest keys work fine (except for led wifi indicator, but I don't use wifi - not sure if it works). My system is ubuntu 8.04.1 however.

Ayaray :
As far as I know, the acerhk module is not maintain anymore. That why it doesn't support recent models.
For more recent laptops, there is a new module "aceracpi" : http://code.google.com/p/aceracpi/
The Acer TM6292 is supported by this module.

And this bug report is not about hotkeys that don't work in Ubuntu, it is about hotkeys that don't work _anymore_ in Intrepid (it is a regression). These hotkeys were working is Hardy (8.04) and in Gutsy (7.10) on the TM6292.
So I don't think the issue you experienced is the same as mine.
