** Description changed:

  Binary package hint: hal-info
  
  Continuing from bugs #327707 and #281951.
  Reporting the keys that do not work correctly with the latest patch (https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/hal-info/+bug/327707/comments/15).
  
  Martin thanks for your interest in solving this.
  
  
  Please replace
          <append key="input.keymap.data" type="strlist">e04e:brightnessup</append> <!-- Fn+Right Brightness Up -->
          <append key="input.keymap.data" type="strlist">e06f:brightnessdown</append> <!-- Fn+Left Brightness Down -->
  with
          <append key="input.keymap.data" type="strlist">e04e:reserved</append> <!-- Brightness up -->
          <append key="input.keymap.data" type="strlist">e06f:reserved</append> <!-- Brightness down -->
  because the brightness is already changed in the hardware - so sending the keystrokes is changing the brightness again, reducing the available brighness levels from 10 to only 5.
  Another sideeffect of this is that while watching an e.g. youtube movie, the brightness keys cancel fullscreen (but not if they're declared as "reserved").
  
  
  Please add
          <append key="input.keymap.data" type="strlist">e00a:media</append> <!-- TV button -->
  
  
  Also, with the new .fdi, my browser key send an "XF86HomePage" which didn't start the browser. So please add
          <append key="input.keymap.data" type="strlist">e032:www</append> <!-- WWW button -->
  which does start the browser (with the default gnome shortcuts).
  
  
  I don't have these keys, but I don't mind if they're declared because they don't collide with any of my keys:
          <append key="input.keymap.data" type="strlist">e054:bluetooth</append> <!-- Bluetooth (toggle) off-to-on -->
          <append key="input.keymap.data" type="strlist">e057:bluetooth</append> <!-- Bluetooth (toggle) on-to-off -->
          <append key="input.keymap.data" type="strlist">e058:bluetooth</append> <!-- Bluetooth (toggle) off-to-on -->
  (ok, removed with last patch)        <append key="input.keymap.data" type="strlist">e059:brightnessup</append> <!-- Fn+Right Brightness Up -->
          <append key="input.keymap.data" type="strlist">e06e:brightnessup</append> <!-- Fn+Right Brightness Up -->
          <append key="input.keymap.data" type="strlist">e071:f22</append> <!-- Fn+F7 Touchpad toggle (off-to-on) -->
  (ok, removed with last patch)        <append key="input.keymap.data" type="strlist">e072:f22</append> <!-- Fn+F7 Touchpad toggle (on-to-off) -->
          <append key="input.keymap.data" type="strlist">e073:prog2</append> <!-- "P2" programmable button -->
          <append key="input.keymap.data" type="strlist">e075:presentation</append> <!-- Minimise all Windows -->
          <append key="input.keymap.data" type="strlist">e078:fn</append> <!-- Fn key -->
          <append key="input.keymap.data" type="strlist">e079:f23</append> <!-- Launch NTI shadow -->
  
  
  Kind regards,
