Alkis Georgopoulos, 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 (not the daily folder, but the one at the top) following https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds ? It will allow additional upstream developers to examine the issue. 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-v3.13-rc4

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:
  Acer Aspire 5920G - some Fn keys not working

Status in “hal-info” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: hal-info

  Continuing from bugs #327707 and #281951.
  Reporting the keys that do not work correctly with the latest patch (https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/hal-info/+bug/327707/comments/15).

  Martin thanks for your interest in solving this.

  
  Please replace
          <append key="input.keymap.data" type="strlist">e04e:brightnessup</append> <!-- Fn+Right Brightness Up -->
          <append key="input.keymap.data" type="strlist">e06f:brightnessdown</append> <!-- Fn+Left Brightness Down -->
  with
          <append key="input.keymap.data" type="strlist">e04e:reserved</append> <!-- Brightness up -->
          <append key="input.keymap.data" type="strlist">e06f:reserved</append> <!-- Brightness down -->
  because the brightness is already changed in the hardware - so sending the keystrokes is changing the brightness again, reducing the available brighness levels from 10 to only 5.
  Another sideeffect of this is that while watching an e.g. youtube movie, the brightness keys cancel fullscreen (but not if they're declared as "reserved").

  
  Please add
          <append key="input.keymap.data" type="strlist">e00a:media</append> <!-- TV button -->

  
  Also, with the new .fdi, my browser key send an "XF86HomePage" which didn't start the browser. So please add
          <append key="input.keymap.data" type="strlist">e032:www</append> <!-- WWW button -->
  which does start the browser (with the default gnome shortcuts).

  
  I don't have these keys, but I don't mind if they're declared because they don't collide with any of my keys:
          <append key="input.keymap.data" type="strlist">e054:bluetooth</append> <!-- Bluetooth (toggle) off-to-on -->
          <append key="input.keymap.data" type="strlist">e057:bluetooth</append> <!-- Bluetooth (toggle) on-to-off -->
          <append key="input.keymap.data" type="strlist">e058:bluetooth</append> <!-- Bluetooth (toggle) off-to-on -->
  (ok, removed with last patch)        <append key="input.keymap.data" type="strlist">e059:brightnessup</append> <!-- Fn+Right Brightness Up -->
          <append key="input.keymap.data" type="strlist">e06e:brightnessup</append> <!-- Fn+Right Brightness Up -->
          <append key="input.keymap.data" type="strlist">e071:f22</append> <!-- Fn+F7 Touchpad toggle (off-to-on) -->
  (ok, removed with last patch)        <append key="input.keymap.data" type="strlist">e072:f22</append> <!-- Fn+F7 Touchpad toggle (on-to-off) -->
          <append key="input.keymap.data" type="strlist">e073:prog2</append> <!-- "P2" programmable button -->
          <append key="input.keymap.data" type="strlist">e075:presentation</append> <!-- Minimise all Windows -->
          <append key="input.keymap.data" type="strlist">e078:fn</append> <!-- Fn key -->
          <append key="input.keymap.data" type="strlist">e079:f23</append> <!-- Launch NTI shadow -->

  
  Kind regards,
  Alkis Georgopoulos
