There is a change with Ubuntu 11.10. This key is still not working properly, but now I can get events in xev:
# xev | sed -n 's/^.*state \([0-9].*\), keycode *\([0-9]\+\) *\(.*\), .*$/keycode \2 = \3, state = \1/p' keycode 248 = (keysym 0x0, NoSymbol), state = 0x0 #uname -a Linux and-laptop 3.0.0-14-generic #23-Ubuntu SMP Mon Nov 21 20:28:43 UTC 2011 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/569562 Title: HP G62 "media player" hotkey is dead To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/569562/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
