Comment 6 for bug 284319

Thanks Matt.

Sound works now for me as well. The hardware mute button and the software mute button work independently, i.e. if you press one, the status change isn't reflected in the other one. Furthermore, the software mute has precedence over the hardware mute. Not perfect, but much better than no sound.

I did not have a .../20thirdparty/30-keymap-private.fdi on my machine. Now I have one with the contents included below. Result: when I press Fn/F9 or Fn/F10 I now get the brightness icon on the screen that indicates how the brightness goes up or down. This wasn't there before, but the brightness still doesn't change.

By the way, does you 6930p come with Intel video, or do you have an ATI card?
