Comment 7 for bug 6628

I installed edgy and still get the same no working fnkeys.

I checked the presence of the kernel patch and it is there indeed as /proc/acpi/sony/fnkey entry exists and ls /proc/acpi/sony gives brightness brightness_default fnkey as output.

Now installing fsfn does not work for me as I have a problem of setkeycodes e077 that I am unable to resolve myself. (basically pressing the fn key creates the problem and I don't know how to find the code for this key - I tried xev and showkey but then my knowledge/comprehension stops here as those 2 commands do nothing.

I am willing to give ssh admin access to a developper to my machine for him/her to check whatever he/she wants.

If interested let me know by mail with a means to check if you are part of the ubuntu dev/bug team. As I leave in france, I can leave my laptop running all day/night long for someone to come in. This is a brand new install and besides fsfn program nothing else has been added.

I have another problem but I don't under what to file it. with acpi on I have wifi working but no cdrom, with acpi=off I have cdrom but no wifi.
