The handlers that are probably deprecated are mostly those for ASUS and Toshiba hardware, which no one who works on this package has direct access to. If you can confirm which of the other /etc/acpi/events/asus-* handlers are already handled through the kernel input layer, I'm happy to remove those as well. > The problematic events are "asus-brightness-down" and "asus-brightness- > up". Could you please run acpi_listen and show the actual ACPI events generated for each of these keys? This may be important later in case a different ASUS model isn't being handled correctly in the kernel yet.
