[ Fedora8 ] Volume keys on R61 laptop doesnt work.

[lynxus]

Hi guys,

Ive just installed FC8 on my Lenovo R61 laptop but they volume keys dont work. Does anyone know how to get them working?

Currently running kernel

2.6.24.7-92.fc8

Fully patched etc.

I would move to FC9 but the Nvidia driver problems are keeping me away from it for the time being.


Thanks

If you are running gnome, then goto System->Preferences->Personal->Keyboard Shortcuts, select Volume Up/Down and press the required key combination.

If it's a FN key combination then that may not work, you may need to load the thinkpad_acpi module (as root)

su -
modprobe thinkpad_acpi
