I'm afraid these scripts aren't very helpful for a permanent solution,
since they use ACPI codes. For udev-extras I need proper input events.
Can you please exercise the "Fixing broken keys" procedure in
/usr/share/doc/udev-extras/README.keymap.txt ? Thank you!

Bug description:
Binary package hint: hal-info

i've attached a tar.gz with as much info i could get about the Fn buttons in my Asus EEE 1000H.
i've tested them against 2.6.30-rc6 kernel (and rc8 too).

The archive includes information according the links below
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Hotkeys/Troubleshooting
http://martinpitt.wordpress.com/2009/05/08/devicekit-update-future-handling-of-fn-key-maps/

Here is a screenshot of the keyboard

------------- Summary ------------------
= default configuration 2.6.30-rc6 mainline kernel =

    * [Works=Yes] Fn+F1 Hibernate
    * [Works=NO]  Fn+F2 WLAN-toggle
    * [Works=Yes] Fn+F5 Brightness Up
    * [Works=Yes] Fn+F6 Brightness Down
    * [Works=NO]  Fn+F7 Lock screen
    * [Works=NO]  Fn+F8 VGA-toggle --> runs Volume Up instead
    * [Works=NO]  Fn+F9 Taskmanager --> runs ??? instead (i think it disables power manager!)
    * [Works=Yes] Fn+F10 Mute Volume
    * [Works=Yes] Fn+F11 Volume Down
    * [Works=Yes] Fn+F12 Volume Up
    * [Works=Yes] 1. hotkey Suspend
    * [Works=NO]  2. hotkey 
    * [Works=NO]  3. hotkey 
    * [Works=NO]  4. hotkey 


= default configuration (2.6.30-rc6 mainline kernel) (udev-extras installed from Martin Pitt's PPA) =
  the test results was the same as aboce, no difference at all (at least this is good for Martin's udev switch :-D)


Currently i use elmurato's scripts from http://forum.eeeuser.com/viewtopic.php?id=65606 to do what the above buttons supposed to do.
If it is helpful, you can download his scripts from here http://www.informatik.uni-bremen.de/~elmurato/EeePC/Jaunty_Eeeasy-Scripts.tar.gz to see how he is doing it.

Below i post the default configuration from the the Eeeasy scripts:

    * Fn+F1 Standby
    * Fn+F2 WLAN-toggle
    * Fn+F5/F6 Brightness
    * Fn+F7 Lock screen
    * Fn+F8 VGA-toggle
    * Fn+F9 Taskmanager
    * Fn+F10/F11/F12 Volume
    * 1. hotkey Lock screen
    * 2. hotkey Bluetooth-toggle or user-defined
    * 3. hotkey Webcam-toggle or user-defined
    * 4. hotkey CPU frequency control or user-defined

    * [Works=Yes] Fn+RightArrow 	End
    * [Works=Yes] Fn+UpArrow		PageUp

    * [Works=Yes] Fn+M			0
    * [Works=Yes] Fn+>			,	# the comma symbol
    * [Works=Yes] Fn+?			/	# the slash symbol


If more info is needed, please ask! I'm willing to make this buttons work!
If more testing is needed please quide me.

And one last thing: as far as i can undestand there are different teams/packages that are responsible for the different Fn Buttons states. (xev-udev-hal-gnome power management-kernel)
Can the bug-triage team subscribe those teams too in my bug-report? i don't know exactly who to add here...
