I never saw this kind of hardware either, but maybe you can compare the hal behaviour on a gutsy and hardy live CD? Please boot it, then do
sudo killall hald sudo hald --verbose=yes --daemon=no 2>&1|tee /tmp/hal.log then let the output settle. Press return a few times, so that you can visually separate the new output. Then press the eject key. Does this generate any new output? Please press Control-C and attach /tmp/hal.log here (saying which is gutsy and which is hardy). Would be interesting to compare both, I think. -- [regression] [hardy] sony eject button doesn't work anymore https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/187980 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
