Bug#701206: acpid: Mic mute button on Thinkpad X230 is not recognized
Hi, I have the same problem. These are three pushes of the mic mute button on kacpimon: Input Layer: Type: 4 Code: 4 Value: 28 Input Layer: Type: 1 Code: 28 Value: 0 Input Layer: Sync Input Layer: Type: 4 Code: 4 Value: 26 Input Layer: Type: 1 Code: 248 Value: 1 Input Layer: Sync Input Layer: Type: 4 Code: 4 Value: 26 Input Layer: Type: 1 Code: 248 Value: 0 Input Layer: Sync Input Layer: Type: 4 Code: 4 Value: 26 Input Layer: Type: 1 Code: 248 Value: 1 Input Layer: Sync Input Layer: Type: 4 Code: 4 Value: 26 Input Layer: Type: 1 Code: 248 Value: 0 Input Layer: Sync Input Layer: Type: 4 Code: 4 Value: 26 Input Layer: Type: 1 Code: 248 Value: 1 Input Layer: Sync Input Layer: Type: 4 Code: 4 Value: 26 Input Layer: Type: 1 Code: 248 Value: 0 Input Layer: Sync lines Input Layer: Type: 4 Code: 4 Value: 28 Input Layer: Type: 1 Code: 28 Value: 0 appear only when pushed for the first time. The led inside mic mute button also does not switch on/off. This works fine for normal mute button. thanks, marek -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact listmas...@lists.debian.org

That's the Enter key. Nothing to worry about.
Input Layer: Type: 1 Code: 248 Value: 1
This is KEY_MICMUTE. That can easily be added to acpid by adding
the following lines to input_layer.c:
{{{0,0}, EV_KEY, KEY_MICMUTE, 1},
button/micmute MICMUTE 0080 },
Add them to the /*** AUDIO ***/ section. Rebuild and try it.
acpid should receive mic mute events. This doesn't mean it will do
anything with them. You'll need to add a config file and a script to
make something useful happen. See the man page.
If this works and you find this helpful, let me know and I'll include
this change in the next release.
If you just wanted the mic mute button to work in your window manager
(e.g. Gnome or KDE), then it's best to get them to support these
keys/buttons. acpid is geared more towards those who are not running a
window manager (servers). You can still use it for this, but it's not
really the best solution.
The led inside mic mute button also does not switch on/off. This works
fine for normal mute button.
Your script for acpid will need to turn the light on and off. Most
likely, your window manager is doing this already for the mute button,
but it is not aware of the mic mute button and the LED.
Ted.

thanks for your reply. I did the changed you suggested and rebuilt the acpid package. Now I can see the events and run scripts with it. But I still can't see the events in xev anyway. Maybe this is caused by too old version of xorg (I use squeeze). So you are telling me that acpid is now obsolete and things should be done in some other way? I don't use KDE nor GNOME. I use fluxbox and I used to configure some of my keys through acpid. And I like it, when the keys work in console as well as in X. Does acpid has something to do with forwarding events to X? Or X should get the events itself? When I will have a scripts for this button, I should probably send them to package acpi-support, am I right? bye, marek -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.

I use fluxbox and I No, not really, you just don't need it anymore when running stuff like GNOME or KDE which have their own means of handling these events. I have no idea about fluxbox though. used to configure some of my keys through acpid. And I like it, when the keys work in console as well as in X. Right, and for that you still need acpid.

You'll need to kill acpid for kacpimon to work. Check the man page for more. Ted. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?
