This suggests that Fn-Space causes an ACPI hotkey event but no ACPI button/* event. (Most keys, I find, cause both.) > This is the solution I've found: > - comment the last line of /etc/acpi/actions/hotkey.sh, so to have > # test "$acpiwrite" = '' || echo "$acpiwrite" >"$ACPITEST" > - rm /lib/init/rw/eeepc-acpi-scripts.acpi-ignore That's how the script determines which event type to ignore. (While I'm presently seeing them occurring hotkey first, I've seen that second. Which is a bit of a problem, since I don't think that it's yet safe to assume that we'll always get button events – consider backports.) > I hope that this information can be useful to solve this annoying problem! Well... something which I missed in your initial report has helped: Fn-Space has hotkey code 00000039, which matches the "SHE button" on other models. AFAIK, this only produces a hotkey event, but you can check this by running acpi_listen and pressing Fn-Space. If you'd included "diff -u" output rather than the whole script, this would have been spotted sooner... Regardless of whether one or two events are generated, the attached patch should fix things. -- | Darren Salt | linux at youmustbejoking | nr.
