For me it's sudo setkeycodes e008 136 sudo setkeycodes e009 137
that silences the kernel. After that lshal -m sees the keypresses as: 09:11:00.004: platform_i8042_i8042_KBD_port_logicaldev_input condition ButtonPressed = find 09:11:00.316: platform_i8042_i8042_KBD_port_logicaldev_input condition ButtonPressed = cut which probably is the real problem together with the fact that the keycodes are not enabled by default. OTOH it seems that now almost all special keys have this behaviour, which means that they can be made to do the right thing in the future. Previously they just did nothing. As a workaround I installed the xbacklight package and bound <Super>-B and <Super>-V to "xbacklight -inc 10" and "xbacklight -dec 10" respectively. This bug is still highly inconvenient though... -- [regression] Brightness hotkeys don't work anymore https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/216436 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
