[Bug 1047967] Re: Sony VGN-FZ21M, some hotkeys not working (video/graphics related)

Tue Sep 11 15:17:32 UTC 2012

I updated the title and description of the report with the information
that Panagiotis provided in the comments.

It appears that udev sends the correct key codes, however the graphics
card driver is not responding to these commands.

@Panagiotis, do you use the open-source graphics driver or is it the
closed-source graphics driver?
