Hi. Hi, Hannes.

I've a problem with hal and the indetification of my laptop model. Its necessary to load a valid keymap for fn+ keys.

But hal / lshal is not able to find the informations. I've tried an ubuntu live cd and it works fine but no luck with crux...

Example (on Ubuntu): # lshal | grep system.product smbios.system.product = 'Extensa 5220' (string) system.product = 'Extensa 5220 0100' (string) # lshal | grep system.vendor system.vendor = 'Acer' (string)

But no output with crux.

Has anybody a good hint for me?

According to [1], this will/should work with hal-0.5.10 (opt/hal is at 0.5.9 still), but it might work with current in Crux. Install hal-info[3][4] (hal-info is just a small hal package that provides the hardware data and quirks). You might need to tweak 30-keymap-acer.fdi to work with this particular model, though.[2][5] HTH Pedja [1]http://people.freedesktop.org/~hughsient/quirk/quirk-keymap-index.html [2]http://www.nabble.com/Extensa-5220-t4481027.html [3]http://hughsient.livejournal.com/6702.html [4]http://hal.freedesktop.org/releases/hal-info-20071030.tar.gz [5]http://people.freedesktop.org/~hughsient/quirk/quirk-keymap-report.html
