I `ve tested this pathed kernel. The patch was applied right. Here the result after it:
1. Fn+F2 Battery status: OK
2. Fn+F3 Euro (In my model): NOT - it sends chain of keys like Alt + 1,2,3 (like in Win to print special characters) (did somebody knows how to fix it?)
3. Fn+F4 Switch displays: OK
4. Fn+F5 Backlight off: NOT - it sends keykode and in X it recognised like "XF86Launch1", but function not work (anybody knows utility to swtch off backlight?)
5. Fn+F7 launch special soft: NOT - it sends keykode and in X it recognised like "XF86Launch2", but function not work (so you can launch any soft by this key)
4. Fn+F8 launch special soft: NOT - it sends keykode and in X it recognised like "XF86Launch3", but function not work (so you can launch any soft by this key)
5. Fn+F9 WIFI on/off: NOT - it sends keykode and in X it recognised like "XF86WLAN", function not work beacause of ath5k driver (in version of ubuntu 9.04 driver not provide rfkill), so you need update to latest ath5k driver or new kernel 2.6.30 (Can anybody test it?)
6. Fn+Up Brightness up: OK
7. Fn+Down: Brightness down: OK
So, the patch is correct, it`is do what it`s must do. Fn keys work, but not all functions work. Other problems can`t solved by this patch.
P.S. Is this fix will available in kernel from official repository and how soon?
