[Bug 585946] Re: Samsung R525 brightness keys do not work

 

Stephan Diestelhorst, this bug was reported a while ago and there hasn't
been any activity in it recently. We were wondering if this is still an
issue? If so, could you please test for this with the latest development
release of Ubuntu? ISO images are available from
http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily-live/current/ .

If it remains an issue, could you please run the following command in
the development release from a Terminal
(Applications->Accessories->Terminal), as it will automatically gather
and attach updated debug information to this report:

apport-collect -p linux <replace-with-bug-number>

Also, could you please test the latest upstream kernel available following https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds ? It will allow additional upstream developers to examine the issue. Please do not test the daily kernel folder, but the one all the way at the bottom. Once you've tested the upstream kernel, please comment on which kernel version specifically you tested. If this bug is fixed in the mainline kernel, please add the following tags:
kernel-fixed-upstream
kernel-fixed-upstream-VERSION-NUMBER

where VERSION-NUMBER is the version number of the kernel you tested. For example:
kernel-fixed-upstream-v3.12-rc2

This can be done by clicking on the yellow circle with a black pencil icon next to the word Tags located at the bottom of the bug description. As well, please remove the tag:
needs-upstream-testing

If the mainline kernel does not fix this bug, please add the following tags:
kernel-bug-exists-upstream
kernel-bug-exists-upstream-VERSION-NUMBER

As well, please remove the tag:
needs-upstream-testing

Once testing of the upstream kernel is complete, please mark this bug's
Status as Confirmed. Please let us know your results. Thank you for your
understanding.

Title:
  Samsung R525 brightness keys do not work

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  This is likely similar to Bug #295251, but seeing that that one is supposedly fixed, I'll open a new bug report.
  The brightness control on this laptop does not work (Fn+Up / Down) and produces e008 / e009 scancodes.
  Manually adding those through 

  sudo setkeycodes e008 225
  sudo setkeycodes e009 224

  triggers the appropriate action, but the release code is not generated. I thought this was fixed with an older
  kernel release, at least according to bug #295251 ...

  I am on Lucid, kernel 2.6.32-21-generic. Hardware is Samsung
  R525-EIkee.

  uname -a
  Linux hadburg 2.6.32-21-generic #32-Ubuntu SMP Fri Apr 16 08:09:38 UTC 2010 x86_64 GNU/Linux

  Will attach further logs later.
