ReplyDeleteI have found some information about how to compile a kernel module to enable the keyboard lights at

The instructions are for Hardy and I am running the newest Kernel in Jaunty. Would love to make the keyboard lights work.
How is your progress coming along with this?
Although I was able to set up and install the recommended packages for the fingerprint scanner using the instructions from a thread on the Ubuntu Forums, I don't reccommend doing so. The important thing for me from that experience is to know that there is some Linux support for the reader on the u810. Yet the software is still buggy enough to cause system freezes and log-in errors. I was unable to completely remove the software once it was installed on my system and eventually had do a fresh install of Jaunty.
