Bug 298888 – app-laptop/pbbuttonsd: KBDMode does not work

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Description Sebastian Wieseler 2009-12-29 14:58:08 UTC]

The default behaviour (if KBDMode is unset) of pbbuttonsd 0.8.1-r2 is that you had not to press the fn-key for the functionality of the "menu keys"(F1-...).

The default config has got the line "KBDMode=fkeysfirst" (as described in `man pbbuttonsd.cnf`). But it does not work if I press fn+FX.
The old line "KBDMode=fnkeypress" does not work out, too.


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
(KBDMode=fkeysfirst OR KBDMode=fnkeypress)
1. Press fn + F1 (to change brightness e.g.)
2. Nothing will happen... :\
3. Press F1 (to change brightness e.g.)
4. brightness changed


Expected Results:  
fn + F-keys should work, if I set KBDMode to fkeysfirst (as documented).

Ahhh...

This bug is already fixed in =app-laptop/pbbuttonsd-0.8.1-r3 (but this is masked for ~ppc (and all the rest)).

Thanks guys - I think this bug report should be closed...
