    Global hotkey problem on upgrade from 9.10

    So I've just installed the upgrade to 10.04RC, and almost everything is peachy. Well, there's the ugly splash screen and the startup is slightly slower than it used to be, but the splash is fixable.

    I'm running 10.04RC on a Sony Vaio VGN-SR590G, and the only real breakage I've noticed so far in the upgrade is the keyboard shortcuts for adjusting the screen brightness up and down. The keypresses are registering - when I hit the shortcut the screen displays the brightness bar, but adjusts nothing. I've also checked the key is registering using
    xev | sed -n 's/^.*state \([0-9].*\), keycode *\([0-9]\+\) *\(.*\), .*$/keycode \2 = \3, state = \1/p'

    That registers the following keystrokes:
    keycode 232 = (keysym 0x1008ff03, XF86MonBrightnessDown), state = 0x0
    keycode 233 = (keysym 0x1008ff02, XF86MonBrightnessUp), state = 0x0

    Since it logs the keystrokes with a sensible looking description, and the bar with my current brightness level pops up, I'm assuming the keymapping isn't broken. Or is that a bad assumption?

    Any ideas on what might have broken and how it might be fixed?


    Thanks.
Working...
