[Bug 330259] Re: Problematic volume control keys and mute key of several notebooks + Patch

Mon Feb 16 22:57:58 UTC 2009

** Description changed:

  Since Intrepid, volume keys of Zepto Znote 6625WD don't work correctly as already mentioned here (also in 32bit):
  https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/278103

  However, a fix for the 6615WD has been already released (look for Zepto):
  http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.6/ChangeLog-2.6.27.8

  I figured out that this fix would also fix the 6625WD's problem so the kernel just needs apply the fix for this model.
  I attached a diff to widen the DMI signature to target the 6625WD, too (tested with mine, works fine).

  There are users of the 6615WD model who still have this bug:
  https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/261721/comments/20

  Seems like Zepto changed DMI entries in newer models of the 6615WD.
  I obtained the dmidecode output of such a user and widened the DMI signature to target those models also (tested by a user, works fine).

  Users with a Fujitsu Amilo Xi 2428 are also affected by this bug but the mute key is also broken.
  I added a new method for fixing this notebook and added the DMI signature as well (tested by a user, works fine).

  There seem to be more Notebooks with this bug:
  https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-input-evdev/+bug/291612/comments/8
  - Toshiba Satellite Pro U300
  - Toshiba Satellite U305
  For each model the DMI signature hast to be added and maybe a specific fixup method has to be implemented.

+ If those users send me their output of "dmidecode" and "showkey -s"
+ (virtual terminal) for each problematic key, I can try to add their
+ models to the Patch.
+ 
  However, both 6615WD models and the 6625WD need the same already implemented fixup method so I just linked the DMI signatures to that method.
  Probably this patch needs to be applied to the Jaunty kernel as well.

  The testing results can be found here (german):
  http://forum.ubuntuusers.de/topic/intrepid-multimediatasten-laustaerke/

  This is my first kernel hack and my first bug report ever, so I wonder
  if I should file a bug report to kernel.org myself or will you guys do
  the job for me? :)
