I'm not the original poster but experience similar symptoms and am interested in getting this to work, so please just tell me what you need. laptop: Acer Extensa 5220, there seem to be different versions around kernel 2.6.32.3 x86_64 on Arch Linux, so it's pretty vanilla acpiclient 1.4 So far I can only tell you whether special keys have immediate user-visible effect, I don't know how to see whether they have any effect at all. Special keys: seven special keys on the left -> no effect Fn Keys: Fn numpad - works Fn F1 - nothing, label: ? Fn F2 - nothing, label: cake with a pie cut out? Fn F3 - nothing, label: circle-like with a check mark inside Fn F4 - nothing, label: Z with superscript z Fn F5 - nothing, label: empty rectangle | filled rectangle Fn F6 - seems to turn backlight off Fn F7 - turns touchpad off/on (on with delay of ~1-2 sec.) Fn F8 - nothing visible in alsamixer, label: speaker / speaker emitting sound Fn F11 - numlock, label: Num Fn F12 - nothing, not sure how to test, label: Rol Fn UpArrow - nothing visible in alsamixer, label: louder Fn DownArrow - nothing visible in alsamixer, label: quieter Fn LeftArrow - nothing, label: filled sun Fn RightArrow - nothing, label: empty sun I tested Fn Left-/RightArrow after I read this and can confirm that it works at bios and grub. There are also the Print and Pause keys, not sure whether these are special too. There is: /sys/class/backlight/acpi_video0/ actual_brightness bl_power brightness device/ max_brightness power/ subsystem/ uevent sudo echo 5 > /sys/class/backlight/acpi_video0/brightness bash: /sys/class/backlight/acpi_video0/brightness: Permission denied Please tell me what else you need. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.kernel.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are watching the assignee of the bug. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Verizon Developer Community Take advantage of Verizon's best-in-class app development support A streamlined, 14 day to market process makes app distribution fast and easy Join now and get one step closer to millions of Verizon customers http://p.sf.net/sfu/verizon-dev2dev _______________________________________________ acpi-bugzilla mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/acpi-bugzilla
