On a inspiron 1420, I can reproduce the sleep key (Fn+F1) not functioning. evtest shows that evdev is seeing the event code:

    ...
    Event code 125 (LeftMeta)
    Event code 126 (RightMeta)
    Event code 127 (Compose)
    Event code 128 (Stop)
    Event code 140 (Calc)
    Event code 142 (Sleep)
    Event code 143 (WakeUp)
    Event code 155 (Mail)
    Event code 156 (Bookmarks)
    Event code 157 (Computer)
    ...

So it sounds like X is seeing and handling the key fine, but gnome-power-manager isn't evdev aware or something? Is this a GNOME bug rather than an X bug?
