Fixed, but you will need to assign the key an application.
Use keyboard shotcuts.
Same applies to many keys below.

>START/STOP LAPTOP MEDIA BUTTON -> This button shall start and stop the laptop media buttons
>Event: time 1284210685.489937, type 4 (Misc), code 4 (ScanCode), value 800f0481
>Event: time 1284210685.594641, type 4 (Misc), code 4 (ScanCode), value 800f0481
Fixed.

>Bright up and bright down only works the firs time than I pulse, after doesn¡t works.
Not my fault unfortunately. gnome-power-manger really assumes you press these keys on keyboard.

>BRIGHT UP
>Event: time 1284210785.200374, type 4 (Misc), code 4 (ScanCode), value 800f0480
>Event: time 1284210785.200404, type 1 (Key), code 224 (Brightness down), value 1
Please double check that this button is brightness up, and not down.


>BRIGHT DOWN
>Event: time 1284210827.712463, type 4 (Misc), code 4 (ScanCode), value 800f043a
>Event: time 1284210827.712490, type 1 (Key), code 225 (Brightness up), value 1
Same here.

>WINDOWS BUTTON -> I think shall open Aplicattion Menu
>Event: time 1284210945.027445, type 4 (Misc), code 4 (ScanCode), value 800f040d
>Event: time 1284210945.027471, type 1 (Key), code 148 (Prog1), value 1
This key works.
I don't think you could assign it to Application menu easily.
Probably would need to assign it some shell script with dbus instructions.
Anyway, its gnome limitation.


>DVD BUTTON -> I think shall open XINE
>Event: time 1284210966.345781, type 4 (Misc), code 4 (ScanCode), value 800f0424
>Event: time 1284210966.345806, type 1 (Key), code 389 (DVD), value 1
Now fixed, but again, assign it in keyboard shortcuts.
Understand that now these keys send different keycodes, that are much more generic.
So you need to assign them. Or ask X devs to fix the 248 limit.

>INFORMATION BUTTON -> I don't know which is the normal use
>Event: time 1284211075.753796, type 4 (Misc), code 4 (ScanCode), value 800f040f
>Event: time 1284211075.753821, type 1 (Key), code 358 (Info), value 1
>Fixed, will open help by default.

>ARROW LEFT (BUT DIFFERENT THAT THE MOVEMENT LEFT, RIGHT, UP, DOWN  BUTTONS)
>-> I don't know which is the normal use
>Event: time 1284211246.823264, type 4 (Misc), code 4 (ScanCode), value 800f0423
>Event: time 1284211246.823279, type 1 (Key), code 1 (Esc), value 1
This is assigned to Esc key.
I think the key means cancel.

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu: In Progress

Bug description:
I'm an Ubuntu 9.10 64 bits user, and I get a Toshiba A500-141 laptop.

I try to use the IRDA Remote controller (RC6ir), and the Receiver is an ENE CIR Receiver, model ENE0200.

I'm looking for the drivers but I think it isn't supported in linux.

Awaiting your news.

Thank you very much
