Hi,

I own a Asus X56V laptop. First I installed OpenSuse 10.3. The Fn-keys worked out of the box. Now for making the Intel Wifi Link 5100 work well I installed OpenSuse 11.1 and the keys don't work properly. I can't adjust the brightness, the sound volume and switch off the touch pad. Everything worked in Suse 10.3. Since the things I read about this problem didn't help I think this could be a bug.

Another detail. I changed in the xorg.conf the keyboard model as you can see here:

Section "InputDevice"
        Identifier  "Keyboard[0]"
        Driver      "kbd"
        Option      "Protocol" "Standard"
        Option      "XkbLayout" "de"
#       Option      "XkbModel" "microsoftpro"
        Option      "XkbModel" "asus_laptop"
        Option      "XkbRules" "xfree86"
EndSection

The effect was that the auto brightness which comes with the laptop (there is a little lense at the top) doesn't take effect any longer which is much better but not what I want. The brightness now is at the toppest level but I stillcan't adjust it.

Thanks for that great system.

Greetings

Erik

Thanks for the report, Erik.

There's work in progress to get the hotkeys of ASUS supported again.
