Hi,=20

you posted this message to the Linux Thinkpad mailing list a month ago,=20
and I am now in the same position, coming from Gentoo, going to=20
Kubuntu. I, too, am very impressed how everything worked great out of=20
the box (as soon as I applied my 10-local.rules for udev and copied my=20
xorg.conf over).

I think I am noticing the same problem, any insights?

Same here, did you get that resolved? Kmilo worked fine on Gentoo with=20
every button, but ignores the Thinklight, brightness, etc. on Kubuntu.

I have another question: how about the Fn-F[1-9] key combinations? I.e.=20
=46n-F4 for sleep, Fn-F12 for hibernate; those don't seem to do anything=20
out of the box on a new install (except Fn-F3 for turning off the=20
display and Fn-F5 for activating the Bluetooth chip). Did you configure=20
them yourself? I had made a few custom scripts on Gentoo, do I need to=20
apply them to my new installation as well, or is there a Ubuntu-way of=20
configuring such things?

Thanks in advance!
