Acer Aspire 5920 Fn+F2 not mapped

Also there is hardware Acer Arcade button above the Acer MediaTouch sensors buttons, and right of the Del and Home buttons:
http://tech2.in.com/media/images/2008/Feb/img_47811_acer_aspire_5920_7.jpg

In Windows this button launch Acer Arcade or Acer Arcade Deluxe application - it's media center like XBMC.
At this moment this button recodgnized by X.org like XF85Launch2.
Then maybe better (and more right) to reassign this button to KEY_MEDIA scancode?

> XF85Launch2
XF86Launch2, sure.

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better.

Please exercise the steps at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Hotkeys/Troubleshooting to determine at which level your hotkey problems occur, and attach the collected information. Most probably the keys will produce an unknown or wrong key code with the "keymap" tool, in which case you need to follow /usr/share/doc/udev/README.keymap.txt.gz to determine the scan code - key code mapping for the broken/missing keys.

Thank you!

[Expired for udev (Ubuntu) because there has been no activity for 60 days.]

Item 1, Item 2 and Item 5 by mistake assigned to nvidia-graphics-drivers, but it's more likely kubuntu-default-settings, like Item 3.

Looks like Item 4 include correction udev rules.

Item 6 is KDE bug. This bug is fixed in KDE 4.5. No issue anymore.

Item 7 scancode for Euro and Dollar buttons:
scan code: 0xB3 key code: euro
scan code: 0xB4 key code: dollar

I move request from commentary #2 to description. Now it's Item 8.
Scancode of Acer Arcade button:
scan code: 0x92 key code: prog2

Looks like problem with Item 9 and Item 10 because system recognize Acer MediaTouch like typical Synaptics Touchpad. How can I help solve this issue?

> 4. Fn+F2

What should be the meaning of this key, i. e. what's written on it? What it its scancode?

> 7. "Euro" and "Dollar" buttons not recognized by xev.

Known X.org limitation to key codes < 256 (bug 313514).

> 8. Please reassign Acer Arcade button from XF85Launch2 to KEY_MEDIA

Committed upstream in udev (commit ID 7ae8a463bef)

> 9. Play/Pause button recognized like KEY_SCROLLUP and Stop button recognized like KEY_SCROLLDOWN.

Do you actually get key events in keymap -i if you press those keys? If so, we can just fix them. Whether the device is recognized as touchpad or keyboard doesn't actually matter for this particular issue (although it's still wrong, of course).

> 10. Previous and Next buttons not recognized by xev.

KEY_NEXT/KEY_PREV are again >= 256 and thus cannot be used in X.org. (again bug 313514).

> > 4. Fn+F2
> What should be the meaning of this key, i. e. what's written on it? What it its scancode?
Follow documentation it's should run Acer eSettings. Then I think it's will be ok if Fn+F2 will run KDE System Settings / Gnome Control Center.

Thank you!

> Do you actually get key events in keymap -i if you press those keys?
I try all 12 events, but there is no any reaction for this two buttons on all events.
It's recognized by xev, maybe it's help:

Play/Pause button:
ButtonPress event, serial 31, synthetic NO, window 0x4e00001,
    root 0x15a, subw 0x0, time 23877291, (92,78), root:(94,101),
    state 0x0, button 4, same_screen YES

ButtonRelease event, serial 31, synthetic NO, window 0x4e00001,
    root 0x15a, subw 0x0, time 23877376, (92,78), root:(94,101),
    state 0x800, button 4, same_screen YES

Stop button:
ButtonPress event, serial 31, synthetic NO, window 0x4e00001,
    root 0x15a, subw 0x0, time 23879242, (92,78), root:(94,101),
    state 0x0, button 5, same_screen YES

ButtonRelease event, serial 31, synthetic NO, window 0x4e00001,
    root 0x15a, subw 0x0, time 23879278, (92,78), root:(94,101),
    state 0x1000, button 5, same_screen YES

This is still missing the scan code for this key.

Hi RussianNeuroMancer,

If you could also please test the latest upstream kernel available that would be great. It will allow additional upstream developers to examine the issue. Refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds . Once you've tested the upstream kernel, please remove the 'needs-upstream-testing' tag. This can be done by clicking on the yellow pencil icon next to the tag located at the bottom of the bug description and deleting the 'needs-upstream-testing' text. Please let us know your results.

Thanks in advance.

This bug was fixed in the package udev - 167-0ubuntu1

---------------
udev (167-0ubuntu1) natty; urgency=low

  * New upstream release:
    - Drop v4l1 code, as current kernels don't ship that any more.
    - Lots of bug fixes.
    - Lots of changes to systemd integration (does not affect Ubuntu package).
    - Use /run/udev/ if possible and fall back to /dev/.udev/ (does not affect
      current Ubuntu, as we don't have a /run directory).
    - Some keymap updates for Acer and MSI laptops. (LP: #637695)
  * debian/libudev0.symbols: Add two new symbols from new version.

Committed to udev upstream master, thanks!

This bug was fixed in the package udev - 175-0ubuntu1

---------------
udev (175-0ubuntu1) precise; urgency=low

  [ Loïc Minier ]
  * Update Vcs fields for precise.

  [ Steve Langasek ]
  * debian/udev.initramfs-hook: we aren't using pkill anymore, so don't put
    it in the initramfs.

  [ Martin Pitt ]
  * Unapply patches, they are not meant to be applied in the bzr branch.
  * New upstream releases 174 and 175:
    - Daemon moved to /lib/udev/udevd
    - path_id, usb_id, input_id tools are built-in commands now
    - fusectl filesystem is no longer mounted directly from udev
    - The long deprecated keys: SYSFS=, ID=, BUS= have been removed
    - The udev control socket is now created in /run/udev/control
    - The rules to create persistent network interface and cdrom link
      rules automatically in /etc/udev/rules.d/ have been disabled by

Jeremy, tested with Oneiric and Linux 3.1

Items 9 and 10 is still not fixed.

RussianNeuroMancer, this bug was reported a while ago and there hasn't been any activity in it recently. We were wondering if this is still an issue? If so, could you please test for this with the latest development release of Ubuntu? ISO images are available from http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily-live/current/ .

If it remains an issue, could you please run the following command in the development release from a Terminal (Applications->Accessories->Terminal), as it will automatically gather and attach updated debug information to this report:

apport-collect -p linux <replace-with-bug-number>

Also, could you please test the latest upstream kernel available (not the daily folder) following https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds ? It will allow additional upstream developers to examine the issue. Once you've tested the upstream kernel, please comment on which kernel version specifically you tested. If this bug is fixed in the mainline kernel, please add the following tags:
kernel-fixed-upstream
kernel-fixed-upstream-VERSION-NUMBER

where VERSION-NUMBER is the version number of the kernel you tested. For example:
kernel-fixed-upstream-v3.13-rc3

This can be done by clicking on the yellow circle with a black pencil icon next to the word Tags located at the bottom of the bug description. As well, please remove the tag:
needs-upstream-testing

If the mainline kernel does not fix this bug, please add the following tags:
kernel-bug-exists-upstream
kernel-bug-exists-upstream-VERSION-NUMBER

As well, please remove the tag:
needs-upstream-testing

Once testing of the upstream kernel is complete, please mark this bug's Status as Confirmed. Please let us know your results. Thank you for your understanding.

> We were wondering if this is still an issue?
There is probably no more issues on kernel side, all buttons is recognized now (including item 10) but Item 7 (Euro and Dollar) is waiting for Mir and Wayland to be properly assigned.

Because of issue with Item 4 I reopen udev task (and reassign it to systemd, since as I understand udev tasks now belongs to systemd).

Item 4: Fn+F2 recognition is broken now (recognized as NoSymbol). Info about Fn+F2 in commentary #10 and scancode in #14.

Item 9 & 10: all buttons on Acer MediaTouch is now recognized, but MediaTouch is still detected as touchpad (second SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad device in xinput list) so no info from keymap utility. Is there anything that can be done about Acer MediaTouch buttons to make it works out of the box? To what package issue with MediaTouch belongs to?

RussianNeuroMancer, the Bug Description is written in a "catch all format" that would be frowned upon up and downstream. Instead, let us focus on one issue per bug report, so that each issue may be focused on individually, and routed to the correct group for fixing.

Hence, this bug report will only focus on issue #4. Regarding all the others, please continue to pursue fixes in the bugs already generated, and feel free to create a new report, one per issue, for those not having a report.

Regarding Acer MediaTouch, I would start with the linux (Ubuntu) and we can take it from there.

Thank you for your understanding.

In current Ubuntu 13.10 and 14.04 (trusty) KEYBOARD_KEY_a6=setup is already set on all Acer models, so this should be fixed already. Which Ubuntu release are you on?

No answer in over a month and I believe this is fixed in current Ubuntu releases.
