dmidecode -s system-product-name
out of the box, only the fn-keys for touchpad and volume are working well.
i use lucid and installed all three packages from the linux on my samsung rep. the applet allows me to change the cpu fan, cam and wlan (the R580 has no bluetooth) correctly, but the fn keys are not working. so i tryed to insert my model in the lib/udev/rules.d/95-keymap.rules. now sth happens when i press one of the fn-events, but the keyrelease is not working and the keybord isnt usable any more so i have to quit my session (alt+print+k)
in my understanding (i am quite new to linux and so i don't understand everything in this thread) i would have to patch my kernel and compile a new one myself cause the kernel offerd from you is an older version from karmic.? right?
i googled this problem and found sth similar here from a amilo-notebook:
http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/g ... 0f534d9d49
am i right if i would download a kernel, change the mentioned amilo-code, add it in the kernel and compile it (i don't know yet how this is done, but i think there will be a tutorial somewhere)
or is there an easyer way to fix the problem?
am i right, that maybe someone would have report a patch similar to the amilo-example to kernel.org, so they could include it to a new kernel. of course, this would not be included in the current lucid-kernel, but we could install the new kernel and wouldn't have to patch our own kernel after each kernel-update.
hope someone understands my thinking and could help me.
thanks and have a nice sunday ;-)
