Dear Debian hackers,


since some versions (at least since 1.1.4) my softbuttons Fn+F5–F9 do
not work anymore.

I am using a Eee PC 701 4G and linux-image-2.6.32-trunk-686 2.6.32-2. I
think it is the same issue with linux-image-2.6.31*.

If I press Fn+F5 nothing happens and the same goes for the other keys.
The volume keys do not do anything (checking with `alsamixer`) although
there could be some interferences with PulseAudio? I already tried
setting `SOUND_LABEL='PCM'`. WiFi-toggling with Fn+F2 works though.

Could you give me some hints on how I could debug this?

        $ dmesg
