Sorry, here's the relevant information: Thinkpad T42p Linux 2.6.31 acpid 1.0.10-2 > acpid from testing/sid just works fine on my x61s. Acpid can handle button events, but it only defines a handful of them. So either you only use those or it works differently on x61s. See #521280. I've added more information there. As long as acpid is not fixed, users who depend on this functionality are left out in the cold and there is no alternative (and please don't mention HAL). So I think, until then, Debian's Linux kernel should support the legacy /proc/acpi/event interface. Cheers, harry
