Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: acpi-support
On my EEE PC 901 with Lucid, in Gnome, I have XF86AudioMute assigned to Volume
Mute, XF86AudioLowerVolume assigned to Volume down, and XF86AudioRaiseVolume
assigned to Volume up.
When I press those buttons, the correct thing happens. However, if I press any
button on the keyboard (letters, space), the same action happens again. For
example, Fn-F7 (XF86AudioMute) and space causes mute and then unmute. Fn-F8
(XF86AudioLowerVolume) and then "a" or any letter causes audio to be lowered
two steps.
I have worked this around by uncommenting the acpi fakekey command in the
respective files in /etc/acpi (mutebtn.sh, voldownbtn.sh, volupbtn.sh), like
this:
$ cat /etc/acpi/mutebtn.sh
#!/bin/sh
test -f /usr/share/acpi-support/key-constants || exit 0
. /usr/share/acpi-support/key-constants
#acpi_fakekey $KEY_MUTE
Any idea why I need to do this? On my desktop machine, these actions are
triggered only once.
