Bug#521280: [Pkg-acpi-devel] Bug#521280: doesn't seem to affect thinkpad-acpi only
Hi, another thing that needs to be done is to start acpid with the `-n' option. Why? Please note that teh netlink interface is always used as a fallbac if the proc interface is not available. The -n option essantially is not a use netlink option but a do not use /proc option. Attached is a patch for the acpid source package that adds the necessary definitions to input_layer.c and sets the `-n' option in Thanks for the patch.

Hi,
another thing that needs to be done is to start acpid with the `-n'
option.
Attached is a patch for the acpid source package that adds the
necessary definitions to input_layer.c and sets the `-n' option in
acpid.default.
Please apply this patch, as acpid is currently broken.
Cheers,
harry

Bug#521280: doesn't seem to affect thinkpad-acpi only
Hi,
acpid in principle supports button events from the input layer. The
problem is just, that the necessary events are not defined. This is
from Debian's acpid (1.0.10-2) in file input_layer.c:
static struct evtab_entry evtab[] = {
{{{0,0}, EV_KEY, KEY_POWER, 1}, button/power PBTN 0080 },
{{{0,0}, EV_KEY, KEY_SLEEP, 1}, button/sleep SBTN 0080 },
{{{0,0}, EV_KEY, KEY_SUSPEND, 1},
button/suspend SUSP 0080 },
{{{0,0}, EV_SW, SW_LID, 1}, button/lid LID close},
{{{0,0}, EV_SW, SW_LID, 0}, button/lid LID open}
};
I've recorded all the button events when the Fn key is pressed on my
Thinkpad T42p and also merged events found in the version here:
http://www.tedfelix.com/linux/acpid-netlink.html
With these additions, acpid is able to listen to all Fn button events.
So acpid should be patched to include these:
static struct evtab_entry evtab[] = {
{{{0,0}, EV_KEY, KEY_POWER, 1}, button/power PBTN 0080 },
{{{0,0}, EV_KEY, KEY_SLEEP, 1}, button/sleep SBTN 0080 },
{{{0,0}, EV_KEY, KEY_SUSPEND, 1}, button/suspend SUSP 0080
},
{{{0,0}, EV_SW, SW_LID, 1}, button/lid LID close},
{{{0,0}, EV_SW, SW_LID, 0}, button/lid LID open},

{{{0,0}, EV_KEY, KEY_VOLUMEDOWN, 1}, button/volumedown VOLDN 0080
},
{{{0,0}, EV_KEY, KEY_VOLUMEUP, 1}, button/volumeup VOLUP 0080
},
/* mute button produces KEY_MIN_INTERESTING on Thinkpad T42p */
{{{0,0}, EV_KEY, KEY_MIN_INTERESTING, 1}, button/mininteresting MININT
0080 }
};
Other models might produce different events. They can all be found with
`input-events' from the input-utils package. To find the device to
listen on, call lsinput and look for the right one. For instance mine
shows:
# lsinput
...
/dev/input/event6
bustype : BUS_HOST
vendor : 0x1014
product : 0x5054
version : 16641
name: ThinkPad Extra Buttons
phys: thinkpad_acpi/input0
bits ev : EV_SYN EV_KEY EV_MSC
...
So I would call `input-events 6'

Bug#521280: doesn't seem to affect thinkpad-acpi only
Hi, I think an even better solution for button events would be for acpid to support arbitrary events. Details can be found in a bug report I created upstream: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detailaid=2881849group_id=33140atid=407344. Cheers, harry signature.asc Description: PGP signature
Bug#521280: doesn't seem to affect thinkpad-acpi only
Hi, I am having similar problems with this issue. We are running Lenny 5.0.2 on several dozen clients and have backported kernel 2.6.30 from unstable to get better hardware support. Now, since CONFIG_ACPI_PROC_EVENT has been disabled with 2.6.29 and above, the power button has stopped working on our desktop machines. As far as I have understood this issue, acpid is moving from the proc-interface to some hal/input-layer related model and thus the Debian kernel-team has dropped CONFIG_ACPI_PROC_EVENT. I have tested with both a machine running unstable with latest package base and our Lenny clients with just the backported kernel and old acpid. Can someone enlighten me how I can fix this ? Where should I watch for events generated by the power button now ? Adrian -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?
