[Bug 569562] [NEW] HP G62 "media player" hotkey is dead

[Andrei Kouznetsov]

Public bug reported:

Hi,

I am using HP G62 with Ubuntu 10.04. My hotkeys "mail", "internet", "calculator" work perfectly. However, "media player" does not work. It does not generate any sequence. I tried
1. showkey
2. Preferences > keyboard shortcuts
3. xev

all these methods do not capture the key. Finally, I noticed that my "internet" key is recognized as "home" key:
scan code: 0xB2   key code: homepage # should be www browser

If you need more information, please, let me know

Andrei
