Hi Bryce,

I think I can provide you with the required information. However I am using the live cd since I do not want to upgrade to Intrepid until this hotkey issue is resolved.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Boot into live cd
2. Open gnome-terminal and launch xev
3. Press Fn+F8 and observe xev output: (battery info is not shown)

KeyPress event, serial 31, synthetic NO, window 0x3200001,
    root 0x7c, subw 0x0, time 426798, (-200,363), root:(474,414),
    state 0x0, keycode 244 (keysym 0x0, NoSymbol), same_screen YES,
    XLookupString gives 0 bytes:
    XmbLookupString gives 0 bytes:
    XFilterEvent returns: False

KeyRelease event, serial 34, synthetic NO, window 0x3200001,
    root 0x7c, subw 0x0, time 426899, (-200,363), root:(474,414),
    state 0x0, keycode 244 (keysym 0x0, NoSymbol), same_screen YES,
    XLookupString gives 0 bytes:
    XFilterEvent returns: False

4. Kill xev and try Fn+F8 again -> still nothing happens
5. Switch to console (Ctrl+Alt+F1)
6. Press Fn+F8
7. Switch back to X (Ctrl+Alt+F7) and observe that the battery info is shown
8. Save and attach the output of lspci and Xorg log
