Bug Description

Binary package hint: hal-info

In Jaunty Alpha 4, the Bluetooth switch turn on and off bluetooth but it also raise the brightness.
This problem also exists in Intrepid.

Here a patch for /usr/share/hal/fdi/information/10freedesktop/30-keymap-acer.fdi that fix the problem.

As a side note :
The file /usr/share/hal/fdi/information/10freedesktop/30-keymap-acer.fdi contains a lot of useless things (thanks to the end of the "hotkey madness" https://blueprints.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+spec/ubuntu-hotkey-madness).
For my laptop, all the following lines:
      <match key="/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/computer:system.hardware.vendor" prefix="Acer">
        <append key="input.keymap.data" type="strlist">e025:help</append> <!-- Fn+F1 Hotkey help -->

        <append key="info.capabilities" type="strlist">input.keymap</append>
 could be replaced by :
      <match key="/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/computer:system.hardware.vendor" prefix="Acer">
        <append key="input.keymap.data" type="strlist">e027:battery</append> <!-- Fn+F3 Power Management -->
        <append key="info.capabilities" type="strlist">input.keymap</append>

You might want to wait with this: I found out that one more special button
(the one with a copy/backup/transfer/whatever-they-meant icon) doesn't
work. I'll figure out its scancode later today and post the complete FDI
section that works.
