Affects: linux-source-2.6.15 (Ubuntu)

Description:
I can't seem to be able to get any of the special key's (Fn+,S1 or S2) to register on my laptop.
I've followed all the instructions that people have submitted in the forums & on this site etc. but can't even get the laptop to recognise any of the keys.
I followed the instructions at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LaptopTestingTeam/HotkeyResearch too.
