Ubuntu/kernel version missing in the report

Touchpad Fn key switch requires a post installation step whenafter it works for me.

The touchpad hotkey fix was upstreamed into systemd and is part of version v256 and up: https://github.com/systemd/systemd/releases/tag/v256

The play / pause hotkey produces the KEY_PLAYPAUSE keycode in libinput debug-events correctly. I'm guessing you didn't have an application listening for the play/pause event, hence the ∅ popup.

When I play YouTube in Firefox, the hotkey works correctly. @filipleple could you retest with some app playing media to confirm it works for you too?

@mkopec yeah i can see it detected correctly in libinput debug-events as well, though when I try to use it to pause a video the popup appears and the media stream doesn't react. (making sure to have the window focused ofc, in a case where spacebar does play and pause it). I realized I used kernel 6.8.0-36 in this test, this might be the cause

The play / pause hotkey produces the KEY_PLAYPAUSE keycode in libinput debug-events correctly.

This is where our test should probably end.

If we submit a bug, ideally we should refer to the test case ID which we claim is failing here.

the media stream doesn't react.

The application doesn't support MPRIS, I guess not all browsers support it out of the box. In any case if the correct event appears in libinput debug-events, then the firmware's job is done, whatever happens in userspace depends on userspace
