(Get the code!)
Steve, you're right, I just tried the Gnome Jaunty alpha 3 live CD and it responds to the keys.
Testing from Gnome Jaunty alpha 3 live CD:
volume and mute keys: no OSD. OSD for brightness keys is ok.
fn-f4: suspends, but on resume suspends again immediately (!), on resume suspends again immediately. Third resume is ok. Selecting suspend from the shutdown menu works ok, so this is some problem specifically related to using fn-f4.
fn-f7: crashes gnome settings daemon. Error in log "gnome-settings .. segfault at ... error 4 in libxrandr.so"
fn-f12: brings up message that hibernate is disabled, presumably because not everyone has a swap partition
I haven't done a full install+upgrade, so it's possible these bugs have since been fixed. I will check if I have time, if not I will re-try with the Jaunty alpha 4 live CD.
btw, I didn't need to configure resume from hibernate in Ubuntu - it worked out of the box. AFAIK you only need a swap partition.
The fact that fn-f4 and fn-f12 aren't recognised in KDE seems to be Kubuntu specific. Probably bug #281284 - no power management installed.
