Topic: Samsung N110 Statler To-Do List and Progress

Here is my to-do list for my N110 and Statler.

Will keep a log of the progress and supply code where I can for anyone having similar queries. This will be a work in progress so give it some time.
And I hope other people will gain something from this.

Will be building on this post covering the Samsung NC10. http://crunchbanglinux.org/forums/topic … sung-nc10/ And I will edit the post after seeing which items from the post are still relevant in Statler.

Samsung N110 #!Statler Project(work in progress)

1. Fn-Keys

  • Identify all the keys - done

  • Check current bindings done, but with queries

  • Fix missing key bindings

2. Power Management

Re: Samsung N110 Statler To-Do List and Progress

Fn_Key for Volume up/down resolved using the NC10 guide

Added the following code into the rc.xml file

<keybind key="XF86AudioLowerVolume">
    <action name="Execute">
        <execute>amixer -c 0 set Master unmute</execute>
    </action>
    <action name="Execute">
        <execute>amixer -c 0 set Master 2dB-</execute>
    </action>
    </keybind>
<keybind key="XF86AudioRaiseVolume">
    <action name="Execute">
        <execute>amixer -c 0 set Master unmute</execute>
    </action>
    <action name="Execute">
        <execute>amixer -c 0 set Master 2dB+</execute>
    </action>
    </keybind>

Was curious to note that the code

<keybind key="XF86AudioMute">
      <action name="Execute">
        <execute>amixer -c 0 set Master mute</execute>
      </action>
          <action name="Execute">
        <execute>amixer -c 0 set Master unmute</execute>
    </action>
    </keybind>

didn't do anything... but only using

<keybind key="XF86AudioMute">
      <action name="Execute">
        <execute>amixer -c 0 set Master mute</execute>
      </action>
    </keybind>

works, just then using the volume controls again to increace the volume.

EDIT Mute/Umute working now, substituted the above code with

<keybind key="XF86AudioMute">
      <action name="Execute">
        <execute>amixer -c 0 set Master toggle</execute>
      </action>
    </keybind>

Re: Samsung N110 Statler To-Do List and Progress

Fn_Key for Brightness guidelines from the NC10 guide not working for the N110 in Statler.

Installed xbacklight, but running it in terminal only gives

charl@ev0k:~$ xbacklight
No outputs have backlight property

Does xbacklight work in Statler? If not are there alternatives?

Re: Samsung N110 Statler To-Do List and Progress

No problem there, hope other people can find this useful.

I'm not going to be updating this week again, going away with my girlfriend for a well deserved long weekend in the middle of nowhere. smile

But once I am back I'll jump in with this little project of mine.

Re: Samsung N110 Statler To-Do List and Progress

So yes I know that this has been a little dormant, and for that I apologise smile
Finally have time again to sit and tinker.

I have noticed something interesting, I reinstalled #! but this time using XFCE instead of Openbox, and now none of the Fn keys are working.
xev is picking up the command, but no response from the command.

Any suggestions?
But I will be digging too.

Re: Samsung N110 Statler To-Do List and Progress

^ Go into Settings-->Keyboard-->Layout, uncheck Use system defaults and set the keyboard layout manually.

Re: Samsung N110 Statler To-Do List and Progress

Tried all the generic layouts but still no repsonse from the Fn keys like in Openbox, might need to go back to it then. Very odd.
