Bug Description
Binary package hint: hotkey-setup
Using Kubuntu Edgy on a Samsung P10 laptop some of the hotkeys do not work because dmidecode returns manufacturer "SAMSUNG" in upper case which does not match "Samsung"
in the case statement in /etc/init.
This laptop has three keys at the top of the keyboard: "WWW symbol",
"Email", "Tick symbol", multimedia keys at the bottom (vol +/-, stop,
play/pause, ffwd, rew), and mute and vol+/- keys on the keyboard.
Out of the box two of the three top keys do not have a keycode and give
no output in xev.
$ sudo dmidecode --string system-manufacturer
SAMSUNG
$ sudo dmidecode --string system-product-name
SENSP10
$ sudo dmidecode --string system-version
08AE
The file /usr/share/
# Samsung X05
# (i) [x] [v/] [wifi]
setkeycodes 75 $KEY_WWW #
setkeycodes 78 $KEY_MAIL #
setkeycodes 74 $KEY_PROG1 # Looks like Tick
Fix: When I replace "Samsung" with "SAMSUNG" in /etc/init.
