@rCX: I cannot test your hypothesis, because I do not have Windows installed at the moment. However, two notes:
1) This is a brand new Edge from september 2011 (Intel), which is different from the ones made pre-2011 (AMD) which are mentioned in topics with similar problems. 2) Hotkeys have always worked, until one day they did not. How can this be BIOS/hardware related? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gnome-settings-daemon in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1028518 Title: Fn keys such as brightness and volume stopped working after update Status in “gnome-settings-daemon” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in “gnome-settings-daemon” source package in Precise: Confirmed Bug description: I have a Lenovo Thinkpad Edge 15, happily running Ubuntu 12.04 + Cinnamon. Today after updating, certain Fn Function Keys didn't work anymore, like brightness, volume and mute. Other Fn keys like Play Pause Next, they still work. Tried rebooting some more. Google and Launchpad search. Appears this happened often during the years with older laptops and patches were released, but now it's back. Unfortunately, I don't know which package or which update exactly, because I don't update daily. I think the update must have been a week old at max. In short: pressing Fn + F# used to toggle or adjust something and a popup would appear, indicating the change. Now, nothing is indicated and nothing is changed either. I hope someone knows where to look.
