Description Dimitri Papadopoulos 2004-02-16 19:25:02 UTC 
From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; fr-FR; rv:1.6) Gecko/20040113

Description of problem:
Hitting Fn+PgUp on a Dell Latitude CPx laptop will freeze the system.
This seems related to XFree86, since it only happens under X11, not in
text-mode.

Fn+PgUp is supposed to raise the speaker output level.

Please feel free to ask for more information about the hardware. Maybe
this related to lack of support for my soundcard? See bug:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=115873



Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
kernel-2.6.1-1.65

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Boot the system into runlevel 5.
2. Log in as root (graphical login). You're now under X11.
3. Hit Fn+PgUp which is supposed to raise the speaker output level.

Alternative Steps to Reproduce:

1. Boot the system into runlevel 3.
2. Log in as root (text login).
3. Hit Fn+PgUp which is supposed to raise the speaker output level.
4. Run "startx".


Actual Results:  System freezes.
Comment 1 Dimitri Papadopoulos 2004-02-16 19:35:52 UTC 
Some more information. This seems to happen only with keys Fn+PgDown,
Fn+PgUp, and Fn+End which are supposed to set the speaker Volume It
doesn't happen with other keys such as Fn+F10 to eject CDs, Fn+F8 to
switch CRT/LCD, or Fn+UpArrow or Fn/RightArrow to set the contrast and
luminosity of the display. So it may well be related to my soundcard.
Comment 2 Dimitri Papadopoulos 2004-02-17 09:47:13 UTC 
Actually the soundcard appears to be supported:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=115873
This was probably just an issue with firstboot resetting volume level
to 0, so I wasn't able to hear the sample sound...

Therefore this is not necessarily related to the soundcard.
Comment 3 Dimitri Papadopoulos 2004-04-19 09:55:00 UTC 
Can't reproduce this anymore under current FC2 test 2.

I suggest closing this issue.
Comment 4 Nils Philippsen 2004-04-21 14:03:19 UTC 
Closed.
