Public bug reported: The new Inspiron 1545 seems to have a function key issue with Ubuntu. The function seems to be inverted, where the F# keys only work when Function is held down and the function items work when the function key is not held down.
I tested this and confirmed the problem on 8.10 live desktop cd and Jaunty Alpha 5 live desktop cd. Here is jaunty uname -a: Linux ubuntu 2.6.28-8-generic #26-Ubuntu SMP Wed Feb 25 04:27:53 UTC 2009 x86_64 GNU/Linux dmidecode output: ubu...@ubuntu:~$ sudo dmidecode -s system-manufacturer Dell Inc. ubu...@ubuntu:~$ sudo dmidecode -s system-product-name Inspiron 1545 ubu...@ubuntu:~$ sudo dmidecode -s system-version Not Specified ubu...@ubuntu:~$ lsb_release -rd Description: Ubuntu jaunty (development branch) Release: 9.04 lspci output is attached. I followed the instructions in https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LaptopTestingTeam/HotkeyResearch and will post key codes below. I hope this bug report isn't getting filed to late to get fixed for Jaunty final! ** Affects: ubuntu Importance: Undecided Status: New -- Function key doesn't work properly on Dell Inspiron 1545 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/341991 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
