Wrong events for ASUS L3000D

Created an attachment (id=4944)
Patch to make acpid recognise more ASUS hotkeys

The patch I promised. It's created using a subdirectory 'events_asus_new' next
to the 'events' directory, using 'diff -u'.

Has the provided patch been applied? Maybe this bug was fixed eventually. Can someone please close this bug if this is no longer an issue?

Thank you for reporting this bug.

No, the patch doesn't seem to be applied. I doubt it's fixed in another way, but I'll try to have a look these days.

I can confirm the problem for 6.06 using Asus A4H laptop. (ATKD)|(HOTK) solves the problem.

Additionally, this model uses slightly different hotkey code for wireless event - in place of "5d" it gives "52", so my asus-wireless file looks like this:

event=hotkey (ATKD)|(HOTK) 0000005[d2]
action=/etc/acpi/asus-wireless.sh

Sorry, I have misspelled... My laptop is Asus A2H (more precisely A2500H)

I confirm that the patch is not applied in Ubuntu 6.06.
I've filled a new bug for the ASUS A2H/L and made a reference to
this report as the patch from Jeroen fixes the problem.
(I've applied the patch on my ASUS A2H)

can someone confirm if this is still an issue in edgy.
does the patch apply cleanly & work in edgy?

Matthew Garrett, what do you think of the patch provided?

I confirm that the problem still exist in Ubuntu edgy.

BTW, the patch only changes the name of the hotkeys to look for.
Nothing more as that's the only problem, one could also do:
cd /etc/acpi; sudo find ./events/ -name "asus*" -exec sed 's/ATKD/HOTK/g' -i {} \;

(It's what I've had done in Dapper and now again in Edgy)

Volume is going down, everything works as excpected.
Also the other hotkeys are working now.

And this bug exists also in feisty.

This is getting ridiculous.
The bug exists in three! releases while a solution is available since dapper.

I know this thread's been dead for a little while, but I was searching about and stumbled upon it in an attempt to fix this bug on my laptop.

Stas:
I tried the command "cd /etc/acpi; sudo find ./events/ -name "asus*" -exec sed 's/ATKD/HOTK/g' -i {} \;" and now none of my Fn + * hotkeys work nor the volume button on the side of my notebook. How do I undo this?
Thanks

I can confirm this bug, i solve changing the "event code".

For example, the event code for asus-media-play-pause is:
   event=hotkey.*45[[:space:]].*

:)

Bye

I just performed a fresh install of Feisty Fawn, and this patch STILL hasn't been applied. I executed the code supplied by Stas in this comment above: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/acpi-support/+bug/25784/comments/8

It seems likely this bug will out-live the hardware I submitted it for :(

I also noticed the bug wasn't fixed yet in Feisty when I did a number of upgrades :-(
And again I can confirm the bug is in Feisty and that the provided solution fixes it.
It seems we return to the good old days of hacking the software our selfs to get our hardware running.

I bet 5 Euro's that the bug out-lives Jeroens's laptop by 1 month and 2 weeks ;-)

Is this bug in Gutsy too?

Well it seems that this bug has out-lived my hardware :-(
My HD crashed and I had to reinstall Gutsy only to noticed that the bug is still present in Gutsy.
Can somebody explain to me why this bug isn't fixed?

Oh well, patching /etc/acpi/events again.

I'm sorry that the (simple) patch has been ignored for so long, I'm cherry-picking it now.
Please expect the bug to be fixed for Hardy at least.

For your information:
Next time, please make sure that a bug is not marked incomplete if it isn't really.
Also, transforming a fix into a debdiff (http://wiki.ubuntu.com/PackagingGuide/Recipes/Debdiff) and submitting
it for review (http://wiki.ubuntu.com/SponsorshipProcess) will make it far more likely to get included.

Thanks for the explanation, I will do that the next time.

I'm just testing Hardy alpha 6 and this bug isn't fixed yet :-(
I'm hoping it will in a later Hardy release.

The fix is attached to bug 193842.
You can try the test package from my ppa (https://edge.launchpad.net/~blueyed/+archive).
The sponsor bug has been finally assigned, so hopefully gets sorted out for Hardy.

Fix is correct, let's hope Hardy finally closes this bug.

As I've seen now, the patch matches some of the asus-event files, probably because they have been added, after this patch has been provided.
I'll fix them in the same way. Please raise an objection in case I'm wrong.
