Description:
The old Panasonic ACPI driver of kernel-2.6.12 in Breezy does not work
for kernel-2.6.15. It puts a core by pressing ACPI function keys.

Here is a new one:

The new driver works fine on my laptop (Panasonic CF-Y4).

And I wrote a small patch for getting key event on GNOME environment.

I attach the patch.

Thanks.



Note: the original reporter indicated the bug was in package 'kernel-image'; however, that package was not published in Ubuntu.
