Comment 28 for bug 384890

Not sure if I should open a new bug report, but the power button doesn't work for me...

OS: Ubuntu 9.10 64bit, upgraded from 9.04
Machine: MacBook Pro 3.1

Pressing the power button does nothing, instead of bringing up the shutdown dialogue like in Jaunty.

xev recognises it, so it might be just the applet not grabbing the event...
xev output:

KeyPress event, serial 38, synthetic NO, window 0x2400001,
    root 0x13c, subw 0x2400002, time 10331282, (43,42), root:(1273,95),
    state 0x0, keycode 124 (keysym 0x1008ff2a, XF86PowerOff), same_screen YES,
    XLookupString gives 0 bytes:
    XmbLookupString gives 0 bytes:
    XFilterEvent returns: False

KeyRelease event, serial 38, synthetic NO, window 0x2400001,
    root 0x13c, subw 0x2400002, time 10331282, (43,42), root:(1273,95),
    state 0x0, keycode 124 (keysym 0x1008ff2a, XF86PowerOff), same_screen YES,
    XLookupString gives 0 bytes:
    XFilterEvent returns: False

acpi_listen output looks fine:
button/power PWRF 00000080 00000008
button/power PWRF 00000080 00000009
...

The power button also doesn't work on a ThinkPad x200, but I can't provide xev (or any other) output for that machine right now. Although in that case, it might be the ThinkPad-specific bug...
