I previously applied this patch against the 2.6.4-020634-generic kernel, and it worked great. Now I've upgraded to Kubuntu 10.10, with the 2.6.35-23-generic kernel. According to this changelog: http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v2.6.35.6-maverick/CHANGES, the fix was put in at mainline kernel 2.6.35.6. According to this table: http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/info/kernel-version-map.html, my 2.6.35-23-generic kernel is based on mainline kernel 2.6.35.7, which would thus include the fix. But the eject key on my Studio 1558 still doesn't work. I even installed the source code for the 2.6.35-23 K/Ubuntu kernel and verified that the fix is in the dell-wmi.c code.
So, I can only conclude that something else has broken the cd eject key. Thoughts?
