Martin, please could you file a new bug against 'hotkey-setup' for your laptop with the dmidecode and keycode information on:

  https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LaptopTestingTeam/HotkeyResearch

Many Thanks,

At the moment, the status of this bug is that:

  hotkey-setup/acpi-support maps $KEY to KEY_BATTERY (depending on the laptop)
  KEY_BATTERY is currently aliased to something else while we wait for a code from upstream
  hald-addon-keyboard needs to convert "KEY_BATTERY" to send "battery" key signal over DBus
  gnome-power-manager listens for "battery" signal and displays dialogue.

Only the first and last are currently done.
