Fn keys don't work properly on Sony VAIO VGN-SZ2HP/B

[Martin Baláž]

Binary package hint: udev

I am using the laptop Sony VAIO VGN-SZ2HP/B. All functions keys were working except mute key and volume down key. I found out that the package udev is responsible for that.
In the configuration file /lib/udev/rules.d/95-keymap.rules, there are following lines:

# Older Vaios have some different keys
ENV{DMI_VENDOR}=="Sony*", ATTR{[dmi/id]product_name}=="*PCG-C1*|*PCG-K25*|*PCG-F1*|*PCG-F2*|*PCG-F3*|*PCG-F4*|*PCG-F5*|*PCG-F6*|*PCG-FX*|*PCG-FRV*|*PCG-GR*|*PCG-TR*|*PCG-NV*|*PCG-Z*|*VGN-S360*|*VGN-SZ2HP_B*", ATTRS{name}=="Sony Vaio Keys", RUN+="keymap $name module-sony-old"

For all matching models, the keys listed in module-sony-old are remapped. There are listed only two keys - mute and volume down. After I removed VGN-SZ2HP_B from the list of models, the problem disappeared.

Thanks! Fix committed upstream.

udev (161+git20100825-1) maverick; urgency=low

  * Merge fixes from trunk:
    - keymap: Fix Sony VAIO VGN-SZ2HP/B (LP: #530137)
    - keymap: Add HP G60 (LP: #554944)
    - keymap: Add Onkyo PC (LP: #612529)
    - Add support for oom_score_adj, which replaces oom_adj in kernel 2.6.36
    - udevd: remove unneeded credential passing from init_notify()
  * debian/control: Update Vcs-Bzr to reworked tree. The current tree is now
    branched from lp:~vcs-imports/udev/trunk (which works well now) instead of
    the outdated manual lp:~scott/udev/master import.
  * Add debian/source/format: Keep 1.0 for now. We don't use quilt, but bzr,
    and this is not a native package.
  * Add debian/source/options: Supply tar-ignore and diff-ignore options to
    exclude .bzr/ and test/. This obsoletes the "debian/rules package" rule,
    so remove that.
