Clear message

Summary

Make Kubuntu support for laptop buttons as good as in Ubuntu

Rationale

Many laptops and also desktops have extra feature buttons which handle power management, display controls and other features. These should work as well in Kubuntu as they do in Ubuntu.

Use cases

Masie has a laptop with suspend and brightness buttons, she wants to make sure these work.

Scope

Design

Implementation

Code

Data preservation and migration

Outstanding issues

BoF agenda and discussion

KMilo has modules for asus, delli8k, generic, vaio, powerbook, thinkpad, we should make sure these all work.

The thinkpad one polls nvram and tells kmix to change, it should probably leave most of it to thinkpad-buttons and just offer an onscreen display, or if necessary a key event.

KMix should listen to the key events and have working default bindings.

Questions: how the heck to fix for all these types of laptops?
