Description First Last 2008-05-07 22:20:53 UTC

Platform: MacBook, first generation (core duo)
Product: openSUSE 11.0 Beta 2d
Media: openSUSE Beta 2 KDE 4 Live-CD (not installed)

Problems:
The keys for adjusting the screen brightness (F1:less bright, F2:brighter) and adjusting the sound volume or muting it (F3: mute, F4:turns sound down, F5:louder) do not work using the live-CD. If there's further information needed I'll provide it as soon as possible.

Rudi, did you give OS11 a try on your MacBook?

Otherwise, Christian, do we have a MacBook in our team so I could investigate?

Comment 2 Ruediger Oertel 2008-05-15 23:01:05 UTC

running STABLE/FACTORY with updating at least once a week here.
Mine is a MacBookPro, 2nd generation with an ATI Radeon Mobility X1600

brightness keys do work here, I'm running the ati driver
it's done by hal directly with the mac-helper binaries.

For the sound keys it really depends on the mixer application.
kmix from kde3 had the keys preconfigured (Volume Mute, Volume Down and Volume Up)

kmix from kde4 can be configured that way (just did that some minutes ago)
look in "configure desktop"->"keyboard and mouse"->"component: kmix"

it's probably possible as well for the gnome mixer applet, not sure if it's
preconfigured properly.

f8-f10 for the keyboard illumination on the macbookpro will currently only
work if you use "pommed" as far as I know, I don't think hal supports this
yet.

Thanks for valuable input, Rudi.

First (or better: erunno@web.de):  Can you confirm that it is just an configuration issue?  It's probably difficult to install the ATI driver on the Live-CD.  But please check whether you can configure KDE to make the volume keys working.

Adjusting summary.

Comment 5 First Last 2008-05-16 23:01:06 UTC

Tried again with the Beta 3 KDE 4 Live-CD.

What does work:
-Brightness keys work now out of the box.
-Volume up and volume down after setting up the kmix shortcuts for PCM (as suggested by Mr. Oertel).

What does not work:
-Mute key does not work even after setting it up in kmix (F3 -> PCM mute).

Comment 6 Timo Hoenig 2008-05-17 11:15:34 UTC

Thanks for the input.  Reassigning to the KDE team as it seems that kmix is missing sensible default values for its key bindings.
