I'm going to confirm this and add the Lenovo X200 Tablet to the machines
referenced by this bug. These hotkey events have been available for
incorporation into acpi-support for years now, yet they still have to be
researched by users and added manually to make them work.
There are also two additional hotkey events emitted by the x200 tablet
which are mentioned above as unknown LID events. These are:
/etc/acpi/events/thinkpad-remove-stylus:
------------------------------------------------------
# Stylus removed from holder
event=ibm/hotkey HKEY 00000080 0000500c
action=/etc/acpi/thinkpad-remove-stylus.sh
------------------------------------------------------
/etc/acpi/events/thinkpad-replace-stylus
------------------------------------------------------
# Stylus replaced into holder
event=ibm/hotkey HKEY 00000080 0000500b
action=/etc/acpi/thinkpad-replace-stylus.sh
------------------------------------------------------
Could we perhaps get some centralized location for dealing with these
tablet problems in ubuntu? There are a lot of them, and the response
when filing bugs against the many different packages involved is
uninspiring. This bug has been active since October 2007, a debdiff was
requested and provided over a year ago, but nothing has happened, the
problem remains unaddressed, generations of Thinkpad tablets have come
and gone and Ubuntu remains a do-it-yourself project for owners of these
laptops.
The screen rotation daemon issue discussed above is a bug that has no
package to be filed against. To implement screen rotation you need to
catch the xrandr rotations, and the accelerometer clues, no matter what
source they originate from and generate tablet orientation and
configuration changes which effect the stylus/touch coordinate systems,
the pixel rendering, and the accelerometer orientation. This needs to
be solved for all tablet and convertible computers. I suspect that we
need a new /dev/input channel that collects and merges tablet
orientation/configuration information.
So, this is a bug in acpi-support, but also in hal-info, and also in a
non-existent package that takes care of making acpi-support and hal-info
do the right thing.
