Leann Ogasawara :
For now I'm closing the gnome-power-manager task as this has been
confirmed to be a kernel bug.
It isn't, and hasn't been. This is a bug with Dell portables. The
kernel patch is a hack to fix up the buggy crap.

OK, I built my own kernel with the above kernel patch applied.
This works good. My wireless key now functions again, and the CDEject
key (XF86Eject) when mapped to Fluxbox keys file works too without
locking up the desktop input.
xev reports all fn keys to work properly (apart from F3, and F8 th
Karl M., interesting.
I have reported this to the kernel guys, as obviously the patch fails to
cover all the vendor names Dell use, and as in your case, the fix is not
applicable (but still needed).
I guess the kernel guys will need to be told as new and different vendor
monikers appear.

There is a another patch been issued to cover the other 'Dell Computer
Corporation' case:

LKML with more details - this could be another of these machines that

Satya, on the M4300 what is output from:
sudo dmidecode | grep -i -a1 -b1 vendor; sudo dmidecode | grep -i -a1
-b1 "Product Name"
if it says 'Dell Computer Corporation' that is why the fix doesn't work
- another kernel patch has be suggested, which hasn't yet made it in the
tree.

Guys, I have just asked the kernel people to apply the 'Dell Computer
Corporation' patch as it was proposed, but didn't seem to make it into
the lastest kernel release.

Hopefully if it is applied, Ubuntu kernel team will pick it up and

No. I think DMI_MATCH(DMI_SYS_VENDOR, "...") requires a full match,
not a substring.

I prodded the kernel guys to get the "Dell Computer Corporation" one in,
and it is now queued:
http://marc.info/?t=12305611373&r=1&w=2
... but also on my thread in the forums, it appears there is now another
bloody option, but the user doesn't state if he has same issues with
keyboard quirks:
OK, I have a Dell Inspiron 6400 (UK MM01) model, and I am seeing the
same issues only with these keys:
fn+F1, fn+F2, fn+F8.
...no release is registered.
So this Dell bug seems to affect different models in different ways.
I look forward to this kernel upgrade so I can get standby and wireless

For me that reported duplicate bug Bug #159336, I have since moved over
to using KDE, so this is no longer an issue in my instance.
