2008-09-12 22:27:05 Bryce Harrington description I'm not sure yet about the root cause of this issue, but it's been apparently confirmed by two others, so I'm opening this bug report as a starting point. In Intrepid (a regression from Hardy), most of the hotkeys on my laptop (ThinkPad T61) no longer work, including: Fn+F2 (lock screen) Fn+F3 (battery) Fn+F4 (sleep) Fn+F12 (hibernate) Notably, Fn+F5 (rf kill) does work. The sleep and hibernate keys generate acpi events, and those are seen by hal, but no action is taken: [5352]: 10:12:24.864 [D] addon-acpi.c:195: event is 'ibm/hotkey HKEY 00000080 00001004 [5352]: 10:13:14.257 [D] addon-acpi.c:195: event is 'ibm/hotkey HKEY 00000080 0000100c These events *are* acted on by /etc/acpi/sleepbtn.sh, which synthesizes a keypress event with acpi_fakekey. However, the action seems to stop there, and nothing hears the key ($KEY_SLEEP=142 in /usr/share/acpi-support/key-constants). I'm not sure yet about the root cause of this issue, but it's been apparently confirmed by two others, so I'm opening this bug report as a starting point.

However, the action seems to stop there, and nothing hears the key ($KEY_SLEEP=142 in /usr/share/acpi-support/key-constants). [Update] So far, this issue is reproducible only on Thinkpads. As can be seen in /proc/acpi/events, the first hit of the key is seen, but any subsequent hits don't generate output in that file. Unloading and reloading the thinkpad-acpi kernel model resets it.

I'll ship it in -input-evdev to do the right thing wrt. backports to hardy. Whoops, right. hal already ships the fdi for enabling input hotplug in the first place, so backports of hal will be broken either way. Let's keep it in hal then.
