ACPI hot keys not working on Asus M6R

Bug Description

In kernel 2.6.22-14-generic, acpi_listen registers no events for the Asus M6R24M hot keys. In 2.6.20.16, the hot keys work as expected. I have booted into both kernels using the same machine and the problem is only present for 2.6.20.16.

I'm running vanilla gutsy with all updates installed.

To re-produce, press fn+F12 using both kernels.

Is this symptom still reproducible in 8.10 or 9.04?

Hi Dan,

Good timing :-)

I installed 8.10 last weekend and the hot keys are back in action. It must have been a bug with just one or two kernel revisions.

Thanks for taking the time to get back to me.

Consider this resolved.

Cheers.

Andy Atkinson.

Is this symptom still reproducible in 8.10 or 9.04?
