Public bug reported: Hi, I'm trying to get the 'SW_TABLET_MODE' event to work correctly on my HP Spectre X360. I think I got most of the peaces of the puzzle, but I need help putting them together.
*hp-wmi is suppose to trigger this event, but has some error on startup, here is dmesg: ``` [ 2.711444] input: HP WMI hotkeys as /devices/virtual/input/input14 [ 2.714634] ACPI Error: Field [D128] at 1152 exceeds Buffer [NULL] size 160 (bits) (20160831/dsopcode-236) [ 2.714643] ACPI Error: Method parse/execution failed [\HWMC] (Node ffff8da6c60c1730), AE_AML_BUFFER_LIMIT (20160831/psparse-543) [ 2.714654] ACPI Error: Method parse/execution failed [\_SB.WMID.WMAA] (Node ffff8da6c60c3690), AE_AML_BUFFER_LIMIT (20160831/psparse-543) [ 2.714715] ACPI Error: Field [D128] at 1152 exceeds Buffer [NULL] size 160 (bits) (20160831/dsopcode-236) [ 2.714719] ACPI Error: Method parse/execution failed [\HWMC] (Node ffff8da6c60c1730), AE_AML_BUFFER_LIMIT (20160831/psparse-543) [ 2.714728] ACPI Error: Method parse/execution failed [\_SB.WMID.WMAA] (Node ffff8da6c60c3690), AE_AML_BUFFER_LIMIT (20160831/psparse-543) ``` *I believe that the problem is related to a [known problem](https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/HP_Spectre_x360_13-4231ng#Issues), where the airplane mode key is spammed because everytime I open the computer to more than 180* and close it again to normal I get another spam of airplane mode keys *I believe the problem is acpi related. *If I cat the event of INT33D6 ``` cat /dev/input/by-path/platform-INT33D6:00-event ``` I get garbage output `XXXX+X+` when over 180* (tablet state) and when back to normal (laptop state) *I think there is a mixup of INT33D3 and INT33D6, because INT33D3 (or PNP0C60) is suppose to be incharge of laptop mode see here: [https://msdn.microsoft.com/library/windows/hardware/dn457868](https://msdn.microsoft.com/library/windows/hardware/dn457868) [https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/9306475/](https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/9306475/) I also decompiled my DSDT, here is the relevant part (I think): ``` Scope (_SB) { Device (VBPA) { Name (_HID, "INT33D6" /* Intel Virtual Buttons Device */) // _HID: Hardware ID Method (_STA, 0, NotSerialized) // _STA: Status { If ((OSYS >= 0x07DD)) { Return (0x0F) } Else { Return (Zero) } } Name (VBST, Zero) Method (VBDL, 0, NotSerialized) { If ((^^PCI0.LPCB.EC0.ECOK == One)) { If ((^^PCI0.LPCB.EC0.CVTS == Zero)) { VBST = 0x40 } Else { VBST = Zero } } } Method (VGBS, 0, NotSerialized) { If ((^^PCI0.LPCB.EC0.ECOK == One)) { If ((^^PCI0.LPCB.EC0.CVTS == Zero)) { VBST = 0x40 } Else { VBST = Zero } } Return (VBST) /* \_SB_.VBPA.VBST */ } } Device (CIND) { Name (_HID, "INT33D3" /* Intel GPIO Buttons */) // _HID: Hardware ID Name (_CID, "PNP0C60" /* Display Sensor Device */) // _CID: Compatible ID Method (_STA, 0, NotSerialized) // _STA: Status { If ((OSYS >= 0x07DD)) { Return (0x0B) } Else { Return (Zero) } } } } ``` *Putting the the computer at tablet state and back at laptop state result in the folllowing messages on dmesg: ``` [ 4320.122389] intel-vbtn INT33D6:00: unknown event index 0xcc [ 4320.171779] atkbd serio0: Unknown key pressed (translated set 2, code 0xd8 on isa0060/serio0).
