Bart has been clear in his answer... something else is already handling the event, if we handle it a second time, I fear it's not going to give the expected result!

So if the behaviour currently works, then somebody else handles it, apparently. And if somebody else is handling it, I can't change the behaviour in acpi-support, since the behaviour isn't part of acpi-support! Why not? It's an ACPI event and it's laptop-specific what to do about it. That sounds a lot like what acpi-support does. Acpi-support only exists to make work what doesn't work, and usually just as a "glue layer" to let other packages do the actual work. This actually works without any help from acpi-support, so some other package or driver is already handling it without requiring a glue layer from acpi-support. If you want the behaviour changed, I suggest you find out who's currently handling these keys, and file a bug report with them. I don't have a means of fixing your bug since it's not in my package, and I have no means of finding out who it should go to. Sorry. :-/ Cheers, Bart -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Hi Martin, Regarding the following bug report: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=424007 Since acpi-support doesn't handle the keys you named, and since it's started working (somewhat) not by acpi-support's doing, I think that this is not an acpi-support issue. That means I'll be closing the bug report. If you disagree with this, please re-open the bug report. Alternatively, file a bug for the package that actually handles this now -- although I have no clue which package that should be, exactly. It seems like either a kernel (sony-laptop module?) or an X thing. Cheers, Bart
