Power button presses are not detected

[Simon Law]

Under edgy, hitting the power button on a ThinkPad T60p produces no effect.

Running lshal -m does not show a button press for the power button only.

I can't isolate it any further, but I suspect that it may have something to do with the ibm-acpi module.

same thing on T23

I have this problem currently on an Asus V6V laptop with Edgy and it was working up until a few weeks ago. Running acpi_listen still shows that the button shows up when pressed, but will need to look into it further tonight to determine why it's not triggering.

My power button also does nothing now on edgy on my Fujitsu P1510:

ongardie@tablet:~$ acpi_listen
button/power PWRF 00000080 00000004
button/power PWRF 00000080 00000005
button/power PWRF 00000080 00000006
button/power PWRF 00000080 00000007
button/power PWRF 00000080 00000008

on my T23 I don't get anything from acpi_listen..

The 18 month support period for Edgy Eft 6.10 has reached its end of life. As a result, we are closing the linux-source-2.6.17 Edgy Eft kernel task. However, development has already began for the upcoming Intrepid Ibex 8.10 release. It would be helpful if you could test the upcoming release and verify if this is still an issue - http://www.ubuntu.com/testing . If the issue still exists, please update this report by changing the Status of the "linux" task from "Incomplete" to "New". We appreciate your patience and understanding as we make this transition. Thanks!
