So it's not thinkpad-acpi . The issue is very strange but basically any
kernel past 2.6.22 displays it.
Now here is the kicker. The mute button actually mutes the. But the software
(Gnome or KDE) does not pick it up when running on a kernel past 2.6.22. So the
mixers are not aware that things have been muted. So you have no visual that
things are muted.
Had a discussion on ibm-acpi-devel but it's not archived SO I'll past my
results here:
System:
Thinkpad T61
Vendor: LENOVO
Firmware Version: 7LETA7WW (2.07)
EC Version: 1.08
Here are my test results (These are kernel.org kernels):
kernel 2.6.22.15 (w/ thinkpad-acpi v0.14) = Works great Gnome can see
mute
button pressed
Kernel 2.6.22.15 (with thinkpad-acpi v0.19) = Works great Gnome can see
mute
button pressed
kernel 2.6.23.13 (w/ thinkpad-acpi v0.16) = Gnome does NOT see mute is pressed
Mute button is
not recogonized when try to
associate it
with a keyboard action
using
gnome-keybing-properties
kernel 2.6.24-rc7 (w/ thinkpad-acpi v0.17) = Gnome does NOT see mute is pressed
Mute button is
not recogonized when try to
associate it with
a keyboard action using
gnome-keybing-properties
Kernel 2.6.24-rc7 (with thinkpad-acpi v0.19) = Gnome does NOT see mute is
pressed
Mute button is
not recogonized when try to
associate it with
a keyboard action using
gnome-keybing-properties
