Hello, just wanted to ask if exists HOWTO setup acpi hotkeys through new HAL interface. I'm still using acpid on X60s. But on my new X61 seems doesnt work and also is obsolete if I understand correctly. Currently I have hotkeys working in X - when I press volume up/down I can see them in xev as XF86something and same for Fn+ combos. This is wrong behavior for me, because I'm also using console without X, or sometimes my X.org freezes (now I'm on DRI2 branch as tester) - then I can't do nothing other than shutdown computer which reacts ok over ssh but its screen is stuck with frozen X.org (killing X.org doesn't help, other long story) - so I want to be able react to acpi poweroff and unmount all devices etc. This is not possible with current behavior because frozen X.org (logicaly) doesn't handle keys any more. What I want is to generate HAL event for thinkpad-acpi key event and using halevt daemon react to it by launching ... bash script for example. Is there this option? I tried shortly this weekend, I can reconfigure keys mapping but I'm not able to emit event - neither dbus or halevt in monitor mode doesn't show any events made by pressing buttons.
I will be happy if you just point me to existing howto/webpage on this issue if any exists. PS: I don't understand why more and more of basic computer functions are being hard-wired to X-able environment. There are people who still are using linux console occasionaly afaik. PS2: I'm sorry for broken english (I'm selftaught), hope you will understand. -- Ondřej Baláž ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Apps built with the Adobe(R) Flex(R) framework and Flex Builder(TM) are powering Web 2.0 with engaging, cross-platform capabilities.
