Comment 8 for bug 25784

I confirm that the problem still exist in Ubuntu edgy.

BTW, the patch only changes the name of the hotkeys to look for.
Nothing more as that's the only problem, one could also do:
cd /etc/acpi; sudo find ./events/ -name "asus*" -exec sed 's/ATKD/HOTK/g' -i {} \;

(It's what I've had done in Dapper and now again in Edgy)
