This looks more like a hal bug.
** Summary changed:
- hotkey-setup doesn't have any effect during bootup on Intrepid
+ Broken hotkeys on HP Pavilion dv6500 laptop
** Description changed:
- Binary package hint: hotkey-setup
+ There are two hotkeys on the HP Pavilion dv6500 series of laptops. The
+ Quick Play and DVD buttons. Previously hotkey-setup was responsible for
+ mapping these keys, but now it looks like hal is mapping these keys. But
+ it's broken.
- hotkey-setup doesn't seem to be running during bootup on Intrepid. There
- are 2 media keys on my laptop (HP dv6500t) that don't work until I run
- "sudo /etc/init.d/hotkey-setup start". Unless I do that they are not
- detected by anything including gnome-keybinding-properties, xev, or even
- any output in dmesg. If I do "sudo /etc/init.d/hotkey-setup stop" I can
- reproduce the behavior of the keys not working just like they would
- after a bootup. This makes me think either hotkey-setup is not being
- executed on bootup or its settings are being overridden by something
- else later in the boot process. These keys previously worked fine
- without any tweaking in Hardy.
+ Line 21 of /usr/share/hal/fdi/information/10freedesktop/30-keymap-hp.fdi
+ <append key="input.keymap.data" type="strlist">e008:player</append> <!--
FIXME: quick play -->
- hotkey-setup:
- Installed: 0.1-23ubuntu5
- Candidate: 0.1-23ubuntu5
+ and the line for the DVD button looks ok but it doesn't seem to be working
either.
+ <append key="input.keymap.data" type="strlist">e00e:dvd</append> <!--
dvd -->
+
+ I've tried substituting different keycodes and restarting hal without any
success. As a workaround to get these keys working I've put
/etc/init.d/hotkey-setup start in /etc/rc.local
+ Both of these buttons previously worked fine in Hardy.
