x61 tablet acpi event ibm hotkey HKEY 00000080 00005009 not mapped to keypress

Bug Description

As of ubuntu karmic all hotkey events
(even if they are acpi events) are supposed to be mapped to input events
by the kernel.

However
ibm/hotkey HKEY 00000080 00005009
ibm/hotkey HKEY 00000080 0000500a

do not generate a keypress event. Which in a way may be sensible, since
they are not actually keys, they are actually the events for changing
the x61 tablet from laptop mode to tablet mode. However, current acpid
refuses to handle those events in the current version of ubuntu, since
the kernel should generate keyboard input events for this, but as stated
above, it doesn't.

Can anyone tell me what I can do to fix this? As it stands I don't have
access to that event at all, since acpid doesn't handle it any more and
no other event is generated yet, so I can't assign it in my desktop
environment either.

running latest karmic as of 2009-11-2, in thinkpad x61 tablet.

Can you please report this upstream to http://bugzilla.kernel.org/

I don't think Ubuntu can fix this bug as fast as upstream can. Please test the steps lined out in https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Hotkeys/Troubleshooting against a lucid live CD. Let me know if you need help.

When you're done, please post the link to the ticket here.

Hi sanktnelson,

This bug was reported a while ago and there hasn't been any activity in it recently. We were wondering if this is still an issue? Can you try with the latest development release of Ubuntu? ISO CD images are available from http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/releases/ .

If it remains an issue, could you run the following command from a Terminal (Applications->Accessories->Terminal). It will automatically gather and attach updated debug information to this report.

apport-collect -p linux 471129

Also, if you could test the latest upstream kernel available that would be great. It will allow additional upstream developers to examine the issue. Refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds . Once you've tested the upstream kernel, please remove the 'needs-upstream-testing' tag. This can be done by clicking on the yellow pencil icon next to the tag located at the bottom of the bug description and deleting the 'needs-upstream-testing' text. Please let us know your results.

Thanks in advance.

This bug now affects me as well, I just upgraded to 10.10 and now my rotation script is no longer working. It was attached to an acpi event like this:

# /etc/acpi/events/x61t-swivel-down
# called when tablet head swivels down
event=ibm/hotkey HKEY 00000080 00005009
action=/usr/local/bin/rotate left

And for swiveling up there is a similar file.

Using acpi_listen the events still show up. If I run the acpid in debug mode and with logging of the events, they do not show up and thus no action is performed.

Using xev like in the manual described above it also doesn't show any of these events.

Hi Berrnhard,

I use this for my rotation-needs now: http://www.krizka.net/projects/autorotate/

It's a python script which polls /sys/devices/platform/thinkpad_acpi/hotkey_tablet_mode

It's not as elegant as an ACPI event, since it requires polling, but it also rotates the screen according to the accelerometer, which is quite cool. Since that already requires polling, the missing ACPI event really doesn't hurt much.

Revision history for this message
Bernhard Weller (bernhardweller) wrote :

I don't like polling as it increases the power consumption unnecessarily, and I have a solution implemented which gives me automatic rotation if I press the rotate button in tablet mode, limited to a few seconds, so I can rotate my screen as I wish, but I want my comfort back which I had when swiveling my tablet. As this is a regression, I want to have it fixed.
