Title:
Samsung Chromebook: Multimedia keys act as F-Keys and produce no scan
code
Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
I've got XUbuntu/saucy on this US$250 Samsung Chromebook 5. It runs
very well, it just had a couple of minor issues that need to be fixed
and it'll be an awesome little Ubuntu laptop with a regular Ubuntu
install!
The volume and brightness keys don't work. When I checked them out
using xev, they were returning F keys:
F1 - back (i.e. like in a browser)
F2 - forward
F3 - refresh
F4 - fullscreen
F5 - switch screen mode
F6 - brightness down
F7 - brightness up
F8 - mute
F9 - volume down
F10 - volume up
I'm happy to try my hand at fixing it, but the documentation in
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Hotkeys/Troubleshooting pointed towards a non-
existent file for directions on the next steps:
