Comment 24 for bug 217504

FYI

The CD eject button (and others) on my Sony Vaio VGN-A270P work fine in 7.10. They do NOT work in 8.04! Something (obviously) broke sonypi (I'm guessing). Running xev on 7.10 (clean install) gets the following when pushing the eject button:

FocusIn event, serial 30, synthetic NO, window 0x3200001,
    mode NotifyGrab, detail NotifyPointer

KeymapNotify event, serial 30, synthetic NO, window 0x0,
    keys: 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0
           0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 16 0 0 0 0 0 0

FocusOut event, serial 30, synthetic NO, window 0x3200001,
    mode NotifyUngrab, detail NotifyPointer

On 8.04 (clean install) it did nothing at all. I've reinstalled 7.10 on the Vaio because of other problems with 8.04. However, if you'd like me to reinstall 8.04 and run some tests, I'd be happy to do whatever I can to help.

Thanks
