Public bug reported: On new Sony Vaios (FS and FJ series) hotkeys don't work.
A piece of code that enables them as been released on gentoo forums. The programs runs as a service and as a config file in /etc/fsfn.conf. Here is the dmidecode output on my laptop: System Information Manufacturer: Sony Corporation Product Name: VGN-FJ3S_W Basically, the same config (default) enables hotkeys on all VGN-FN* computers and adding BRT_HACK_FJS=1 parameter in /etc/fsfn.conf files, enables them for VGN-FJ* series. As an attachement to this bug, here is the fsfn tarball (latest version from the gentoo boards). ** Affects: hotkey-setup (Ubuntu) Importance: Untriaged Status: Unconfirmed ** Attachment added: ""fsfn" source code" http://librarian.launchpad.net/3134181/fsfn-1.1-take2.tar.gz -- New Sony Vaios hotkeys don't work https://launchpad.net/bugs/50692 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
