in maverick, special keys of classmate pc (cmpc) were recognized in hal (with halevt -i), i.e.: brighness-up, brightness-down, external-video on/off, pgup, pgdown, camera on/off, wlan on/off. there are no events generated anymore with natty, although module classmate_laptop is loaded. System is a classmate 3. is this a bug or a symptom due some change in hal -> xinput?
Regards, dsto

There is a simple solution for it, at least in 12.04, if you recompile the kernel and adjust the module classmate_laptop according to https:/
You just have to change the line
#define CMPC_KEYS_HID "FnBT0000"
to
#define CMPC_KEYS_HID "FNBT0000"
in the source code intel_classmate.c an compile the kernel again.
Is it possible to automatically add this for the new release?
Thx for the effort
