Hey guys! Last Saturday I got my brandnew Lenovo Thinkpad LS500 NRJ9AGE and installed Intrepid Ibex (8.10) 64bit. The problems concerning the hotkeys are still up2date for this modell. I read that with hotkey-setup 0.1.28ubuntu7 the problems should be fixed, but unfortunately not for my SL500.
I tested following keys: Key: Works? ------------------------------------------------ Lock Screen no Battery status no Sleep yes Wifi/RF kill no Switch displays yes Hibernate no (but I use a encrypted swap-partition) Brightness up yes, but inverted Brightness down yes, but inverted Volume up no Volume down no Mute no Multimedia Keys no Display Zoom no And an additional key works also not. Which german description I couldn't really translate into english "Einstellungen von Eingabeeinheiten ändern". It have to be something like this: "Changing options of inputdevices". The main problem is the brightness of the display. The hotkeys works very bad if I try to change the brightness. The first thing is, that the function is inverted. The second point, the procedure of changing the brightness is very inaccurate. The background gets dark an returns than in an brighter or smother light. Its a very strong flickering of the display. If I disconnect AC, the display gets on battery brighter and returning to AC it gets darker again. Cazy thing... Also when I log into Ubuntu with my user. First in the gdm, the display is shining like the sun. After I logged it gets darker again... GRML!!! The are additional problems with the fingerprint sensor and the webcam. They dont work, but I think thats another construction side. An additional hint: If I do "sudo modprobe tinkpad_acpi", I get this message: FATAL: Error inserting thinkpad_acpi (/lib/modules/2.6.27-7-generic/kernel/drivers/misc/thinkpad_acpi.ko): No such device I would be so glad, if some can get me some advice. Its not very funny, if your brand new toy will not work in top condition. Greetings!
