Bug Description
Binary package hint: ivman
Using - [Gutsy]
Package Version - [ivman 0.6.14-2ubuntu1]
The version included in Gutsy does not include support for condition values
These are used by modern laptops instead of separate conditions for each different media button the often have one condition with multiple values.
There is a patch available here:

as discussed here:

I have applied the patch and now I can use my media keys without gnome (or another DE). [I have an XPS m1530]
This is important because setting it up this way allows these keys to function even when gnome can't grab keys - eg. games and other full screen apps

This Bug Meets the Criteria for Medium Importance
It applies to many modern laptop models because hal reports values for some newer hardware instead of just conditions.
