Dear Brice,
in the next days I will try to fully update to jaunty. Actually
I'm busy with other stuff and haven't had time to even boot the Packard Bell,
but I will take the time to test this.

Regards
Fabio

>On my
Packard Bell Easy Note laptop one single press of "Fn + Volume up (F4 key)"
(or "Fn + Volume down (F3 key)") sends Voume level respectively to the maximum
or minimum, no way to change choice after first pressing of the key
combination. Pressing any key on the keyboard doesn't sort any effect, can't
even write on already opened applications, menus on the status bar become
unavailable, need to log out with ctrl+alt+del or (reboot with
ctrl+alt+backspace) only keyboard combinations which sort any effect. After re-
logging in, keyboard available again, volume set to max or min (depends on what
pressed before logging out). Nothing changed in the past 3 days even after the
vaious updates. On the same machine with Ubuntu 7.04 volume key combination
worked without any problem,with the possibility to change the volume level
"step by step".
