[Bug 103103] Re: Required "fsfn" for working hotkeys in, at least, Sony Vaio VGN-FS and VGN-FJ.

[Christopher M. Penalver]

Pedro Martínez Juliá, 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 CD images are available from
http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/releases/ .

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 following https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds ? It will allow additional upstream developers to examine the issue. Please do not test the kernel in the daily folder, but the one all the way at the bottom. Once you've tested the upstream kernel, please comment on which kernel version specifically you tested and remove the tag:
needs-upstream-testing

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 text:
needs-upstream-testing

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.

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

If you are unable to test the mainline kernel, please comment as to why specifically you were unable to test it and add the following tags:
kernel-unable-to-test-upstream
kernel-unable-to-test-upstream-VERSION-NUMBER

Please let us know your results. Thank you for your understanding.

Title:
  Required "fsfn" for working hotkeys in, at least, Sony Vaio VGN-FS and
  VGN-FJ.

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: acpi-support

  It's needed a daemon called "FSFN" for handle "/proc/acpi/sony/fnkey"
  and execute "/etc/acpi/????btn.sh". It is in
  http://developer.berlios.de/projects/fsfn and can be packaged inside
  acpi-support (or, at least, install it when a Vaio FS/FJ is detected).
