Getting function keys to work on Samsung 350V5C
Posted: 18 Jan 2013, 16:54
Dear all,
I just joined the forum trying to get the best out of my Samsung 350V5C.
I thank in advance whoever will be able to help me improving a few things.
I installed Ubuntu 12.04 64 bit on my laptop and everything worked fine except for the function
keys.
The brightness was fixed by setting a parameter in grub (acpi=vendor if I remember it correctly..), and didn't even required the installation of the samsung-backlight package.
However the other function keys don't work. The volume keys behave especially annoyingly because whenever I try to use them I can't "click" on the menus any more.
After installing samsung-tools and samsung-laptop the keys still don't work, but at least if I press them nothing happens, but the computer doesn't get stuck.
I have no idea where to start to find the problem and trying to fix it, can you give me any help?
Thanks a lot (especially to Voria who developed the packages!)
