[Bug 95444] Re: No Screen Backlight Control; Notebooks (Vaio, Macbook, HP/Compaq, Samsung, Zepto et al.) with Nvidia Geforce8/Geforce9/Quadro series graphics

[Steve Langasek]

This is definitely not a hotkey-setup issue; the hotkey-setup package
only handles setting kernel keymaps for hotkeys, and is deprecated in
favor of hal-info besides.

I had the opportunity this week to test out hotkey mappings on a variety
of laptops, including one Sony Vaio, and the brightness keys appear to
be recognized correctly as keys - and the brightness was adjusted as
well.  I don't know if this was an nvidia-based system, but at least I
didn't see any evidence that the keypresses themselves were not
recognized correctly.

If you have reason to think that the keypresses are not being recognized
on your system (as opposed to us just not having a good way to *handle*
those keypresses on Ubuntu), please follow
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Hotkeys/Troubleshooting and report back with
your results.
