dmesg with 3.9.2 kernel (76.36 KB, text/plain)

dmesg with 3.9.2 kernel

Almost no Fn keys work (anything unhandled by ACPI, I believe). For example, I cannot change the volume or mute, and I cannot change the keyboard backlight brightness.

I bisected this behaviour to this commit:
http://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/?id=6cae06e603339f99334bc6b276e2ac619cf0d476

This message in dmesg may be related:
[   11.583859] asus-nb-wmi: probe of asus-nb-wmi failed with error -5

This message did not appear with my previous kernel (3.8) and everything worked fine.

Hi:
      Thanks for file the bug and bisect. From the result of your bisect, this is platform driver bug rather than acpi bug. So reassign it to platform catagory
Comment 2 Micael Dias 2013-05-13 02:28:01 UTC
Thanks for reassigning, I couldn't find the right category.
Comment 3 Micael Dias 2013-05-16 14:12:20 UTC
If I boot without the acpi_osi kernel flag, the keys (except brightness, fixed in bug #52951) the Fn keys work fine.
