Bug Description
Most special Keys of my laptop don't work anymore since I switched to hardy (Clean install) (All of these worked previously)
What works:
Fn-F3 : Suspend to RAM
Fn-F4 : Suspend to Disk
Fn-F6 : Brightness +
Fn-F7 : Brightness -
Numlock and stuff
What doesn't work
Fn-F1 : Lock the computer
This has no effect in "xev", I'm not sure whether that's relevant
Fn-F5 : Switch Display
xev output
[code]
