           Summary: Fn hotkey combinations do not function on Panasonic
                    Toughbook CF-51
           Product: Fedora Extras
           Version: fc6
          Platform: i686
               URL: http://www.netlab.cs.tsukuba.ac.jp/~yokota/izumi/panason
                    ic_acpi/
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: low
          Priority: normal
         Component: Package Review
        AssignedTo: nobody at fedoraproject.org
        ReportedBy: jakethompson1 at gmail.com
         QAContact: fedora-package-review at redhat.com


Description of problem:
The function keys on the Panasonic Toughbook CF-51 are labeled for the following
hotkeys, which in Fedora Core 6 have no effect:
   Fn-F1: increase screen brightness
   Fn-F2: decrease screen brightness
   Fn-F3: switch LCD or external monitor
   Fn-F4: mute sound
   Fn-F5: volume down
   Fn-F6: volume up
   Fn-F7: suspend to RAM
   Fn-F10: suspend to disk

There is a kernel driver to turn these hotkeys into ACPI events, as well as a
script to do the actual functions at
http://www.netlab.cs.tsukuba.ac.jp/~yokota/izumi/panasonic_acpi/.  There is an
alternate version at http://www.da-cha.org/letsnote/.  As of Nov. 23, 2006,
there is no package in Fedora Core or Extras containing this driver or the
utilities.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
Fedora Core 6 (i386)

How reproducible:
Attempt to use any of the Fn hotkey sequences

Steps to Reproduce:
1.  Press Fn-F1 (decrease screen brightness)

  
Actual results:
Nothing happens


Expected results:
Decreased screen brightness

Additional info:
The driver is labeled for Panasonic "Let's Note" laptops, but also works with
the Toughbook (CF-51 at least).

Resolution:
Package request for pcc-acpi kernel module and associated utilities.
