Hi,

Debian already solved this bug, adding this code.

Hi jcnascimento,

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. You reported this bug a while ago and there hasn't been any activity in it recently. We were wondering is this still an issue for you? Can you try with the latest development release of Ubuntu? (ISOs are available from cdimage.ubuntu.com)

If it remains an issue, could you also attach a new /var/log/Xorg.0.log?
Thanks in advance.

The output of lspci -vvnn would also be worth having.

Hi,

Well this bug is really old. It was already solved in Debian and in Ubuntu.

You can close it.

Regards,
Jose Carlos

Great, thanks for letting us know.

Hi.

I have a T61 myself, and everything was working fine with Ubuntu 8.10. However, after an upgrade I did today (Dec. 12, 2008), the slash/question/degree key stopped working. I tried the .Xmodmap trick and got no answer. Xev returns keycode 105, and not 109. So I changed Jose Carlos code, and it is working now. Any hints?

Also happened with my T61 when I upgraded to Intrepid. I opened another bug about it: bug #309042
