I erroneously left a line for the mute button in the original 61-satellite-u500.hwdb file and should be removed.
The following is the correct 61-satellite-u500.hwdb file: # Satellite U500 keyboard:dmi:bvn*:bvr*:bd*:svnTOSHIBA:pn[sS][aA][tT][eE][lL][lL][iI][tT][eE]*[uU]500*:pvr* KEYBOARD_KEY_ae=!volumedown KEYBOARD_KEY_b0=!volumeup Furthermore the previous and next media buttons are mapped to hex 0x10 (165) and 0x19 (163). These are the same codes that are used for Q and P respectively so I'm unable to remap them without disabling those keys. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/665918 Title: Media keys not working in Toshiba Satellite U500 Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu: Expired Bug description: Binary package hint: udev The special media keys in the Toshiba Satellite U500 do not work. Following the instructions in /usr/share/doc/udev/README.keymap.txt.gz I've tried to create a keymap to sort this out (attached), with not very good results: *The mute key was originally mapped to 'd'. Apparently it is linked to the 'd' key itself, because changing the mapping of this key also changes the mapping of the 'd' key to mute! This makes the keyboard unusable, of course. * Next/previous track do not work, even with the mapping attached. * There is a key -supposed to launch the media player- that does not do anything even under sudo /lib/udev/keymap -i input/event3. This key works in Windows. I'm using Ubuntu 10.10, and udev version 162-2.1 The output of cat /sys/class/dmi/id/sys_vendor is TOSHIBA The output of cat /sys/class/dmi/id/product_name is SATELLITE U500 Thanks for your help.
