Hello everyone,
I am going to do a presentation in a few days, so this has become a bit urgent...
On my i810-based Samsung Q10, the function keys for changing display brightness and switching to an external monitor do not work properly. Altering the brightness causes the mouse pointer to disappear, switching to the external VGA port does not work at all.
Before my switch to Arch, this has never been an issue for me; they worked in every OS and graphics mode I had on the machine. Hence, I assume that Arch's X configuration somehow tries to capture those key events and pass them on to the driver, instead of to the video BIOS. However, I don't know where this might happen...
Searching the forums did not give me any working solution so far.
My driver is configured as follows:
Section "Device"
Identifier "Onboardchip"
# Driver "intel"
Driver "i810"
VendorName "Intel"
BoardName "i810 onboard"
Option "HWCursor" "off"
Option "AccelMethod" "exa" # neu, skaliert im Betrieb hoch
Option "MigrationHeuristic" "greedy" # macht 2D flotter
EndSection
The intel and i810 drivers both show the same behaviour.
Does anyone have any ideas? I would not like to have to do my presentation in Windows, especially now that KDEMod has this beautiful new design ;-)
Many thanks in advance
Jürgen
