Dear all,
here are some results of more detailled experiments with the patch on my
Asus Zenbook Prime UX31A (with BIOS 204, I just saw there is a BIOS 206
available. I did not test that, yet).
I applied the patch to stable/linux-3.4.y, running 3.4.4.
The available special keys:
Key Description
Fn+ F1 Sleep
F2 Wireless on/off
F3 decrease keyboard backlight brightness
F4 increase keyboard backlight brightness
F5 decrease screen brightness
F6 increase screen brightness
F7 enable/disable screen
F8 toggle screen/external
F9 disable touchpad
F10 mute sound
F11 decrease volume
F12 increase volume
A ambient light sensor on/off
C "Splendid Video Intelligent Technology" on/off
V start webcam application
Space cycle through power saving modes
Up PgUp
Down PgDown
Left Home
Right End
Without the patch:
- F1, F7, Up, Down, Left, Right
They do what they should do. Right now I do not know if xev shows
anything, though (ask me, I can test).
- F2: at boot LED is off, but wireless works. Apart from that button
works as expected. Regarding xev: see above.
- F3, F4, F5, F6, F8, F9, F10, F11, F12, A, C, V, Space:
No observable effect, xev does not show anything.
With the patch:
- F1, F7, Up, Down, Left, Right: see above
- F2: at boot LED is on, otherwise as above
- F3, F4: xev shows KeymapNotify event
- F5, F6: nothing (as before)
- F8: xev shows FocusOut, FocusIn, KeymapNotify, VisibilityNotify,
Expose events, screen flickers (not tried with attached external
display)
- F9: nothing (as before)
- F10, F11, F12: gnome adjusts the volume accordingly, xev shows
KeymapNotify events (among others, I guess related to gnome popups).
- A: xev shows KeyPress and KeyRelease events for keycode 248 (no
symbol)
- C: xev shows KeyPress and KeyRelease events for keycode 156
(XF86Launch1)
- V: gnome starts "Cheese", xev shows KeyMapNotify event (I guess, hard
to identify)
- Space: xev shows KeyPress and KeyRelease events for keycode 193 (no
symbol)
Best regards,
