hrm.... Thid might be interesting as well... I was trying to execute "/etc/init.d/hotkey-setup start" and got an error. I went looking into the script and found a pretty like block that pretty much slapped me. Nice script guys, very neat and tidy.

So I tried executing it on my own...

root@ubuntu:~# modprobe sonypi; # Needed to get hotkey events
FATAL: Module sonypi not found.
root@ubuntu:~# modprobe sony-laptop
root@ubuntu:~#

For the record, I'm looking at line #166.

As an end user, I'm not sure what more I can do. It does however, seem that perhaps there's a module missing from the kernel that should maybe be there?

If I'm right, could that maybe be revisited in my bug report for the motion eye camera?

On another side note. I just found out today there's a WLAN light on here. That's really neat, I've had it for a year and never seen it before. It's already getting irritating to see, but it's progress. :) (Not entirely fond of the NewHuman theme, but it does in fact meet a lot of requests.
