The situation is pretty odd. It seems that the camera is a USB device
and I think that the hotkey combination is actually being handled by the
bios or acpi somehow.

In a 9.04/9.10 system where the camera is already on the boot sequence
is slightly different from one where the camera is initially off.
Looking in the dmesg output I see the ON boot saying use poll mode and
the OFF boot says events will be used, but what exactly is going on I
don't know. After boot

udevadm monitor shows Fn+F6 events for the ON boot, but is silent for
the OFF case.

I haven't tried this experiment with the same kernel in 8.10, but I
suppose I could. All I do know (as I pointed out above) is that this is
not a kernel bug as my 2.6.31-10 kernel works fine booting 8.10 in
On/Off modes. I'm willing to carry out experiments etc etc, but I don't
think anyone here actually cares.

Looking at cyli's output seems to indicate that this might be  a udev
issue ie the usb is turning on and off, but udev isn't sending out the
right events. I will try out his usb experiments tonight.
