Package: hal Version: 0.5.8.1-4 Severity: normal As the title says, please see bug #400267.
A short summary: hald-addon-acpi-buttons-toshiba, which is only loaded on machines with smbios.system.manufacturer = 'TOSHIBA', eats most events generated when pressing any of the Fn-keys but does not pass them on to HAL. fnfx gets almost no events so it takes up to 10 key presses for fnfx to actually see this and react. Stopping hald-addon-acpi-buttons-toshiba from starting resolves the issue and fnfx works as expected again. A solution proposed by Timo Hoenig, author of fnfx, would be to remove hald-addon-acpi-buttons-toshiba altogether, or, if depended upon by e.g. gnome-power-manager to fix hald-addon-acpi-buttons-toshiba to relay everything to HAL so that this information can be used by e.g. ivman.
