Bugzilla – Bug 392312
openSUSE does not support any special buttons of HP Pavilion dv6530ew
Last modified: 2008-10-16 11:17:35 UTC
As summary explains openSUSE completely ignores any controls of my laptop including audio control (volume setting, muting) and even power button! Yes, pushing power button has no effect on a system. This is a major regression compared to openSUSE 10.3 where all keys (including audio) worked very well.
This is likely to need some additions for hal-info. Will investigate. Seife, Helmut. You both are using HPs, what about the hotkeys on your laptops? Are they working?
Wireless on/off works Volume +/- works Mute works Touchpad on/off works Presentation gives me an xevent The only non-working button is the info-key
Thanks for the quick reply, Helmut. Grzegorz, could you please run 'sleep 1; showkey -s' (as root) and then press the keys? Do you see any events?
Lowering severity.
Yep I see following info: grek-laptop:~ # sleep 1; showkey -s kb mode was RAW [ if you are trying this under X, it might not work since the X server is also reading /dev/console ] press any key (program terminates 10s after last keypress)... 0xe0 0x30 0xe0 0xb0 0xe0 0x2e 0xe0 0xae 0xe0 0x20 0xe0 0xa0 0xe0 0x24 0xe0 0xa4 0xe0 0x19 0xe0 0x99 0xe0 0x22 0xe0 0xa2 0xe0 0x10 0xe0 0x90 0x74 0xf4 0x5a 0xda 0xe0 0x5e 0xe0 0xde The keys are pressed (in this order) are: Volume +, Volume -, Mute, Stop, Next, Play/Pause, Prev, DVD, QuickPlay, Power button. I hope this helps. Thanks for attention!
Sorry for the huge lag, Grzegorz. Could you please let me know if this issue is still present? I'd look for a similar machine in case you're still suffering from this issue.
Hi Timo, Actually, some time ago I found out that all problems related to keys support appear in KDE4 only. When I log into KDE3 everything works correctly. This looks like an issue with KDE4. I don't have beta 2 of 11.1 but I've tested this with latest release of KDE4 (4.1.x) and 11.0. The result is still the same - no keys are working.
Ah, thanks for this information. I think bug 382855 handles this KDE 4 issue. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 382855 ***
