[Bug 356335] Re: [jaunty] acpi-support does not support all ACPI keys in EeePC

[Steve Langasek]

Thank you for taking the time to report this problem and help to improve
Ubuntu.

This is a bug in the eeepc-acpi-scripts package, which has not been
integrated into Ubuntu, not with acpi-support.  Reassigning to the
correct package.

In general, it is incorrect for hotkeys to be handled via acpid; hotkeys
are meant to be handled by kernel modules which synthesize input events,
as described in <https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Hotkeys/Architecture>.  So this
is probably where the fixes will actually happen for the hotkey
handling, not in these ACPI-handling scripts.  Cf. bug #232170, where
the linux kernel issue is being tracked.

   Importance: Undecided => High

** Changed in: eeepc-acpi-scripts (Ubuntu)
