While "xev" in Gutsy displays an event for "sudo acpi_fakekey 148", in Hardy no event gets displayed. Therefore I'm assigning the bug to xserver-xorg: I don't know if this is correct, but I think it's nearer to the root cause.
** Changed in: xorg (Ubuntu) Sourcepackagename: acpi-support => xorg ** Description changed: Binary package hint: acpi-support My thinkpad X40 has a blue "Access IBM" button above the keyboard which in previous Ubuntu releases I mapped to Lock Screen. In hardy, the key event is not being detected by GNOME's Keyboard Shortcut preferences capplet. acpid sees it: [Fri Mar 7 15:39:13 2008] received event "ibm/hotkey HKEY 00000080 00001018" [Fri Mar 7 15:39:13 2008] notifying client 11989[0:0] [Fri Mar 7 15:39:13 2008] notifying client 17907[110:122] [Fri Mar 7 15:39:13 2008] executing action "/etc/acpi/thinkpad-thinkpad.sh" [Fri Mar 7 15:39:13 2008] BEGIN HANDLER MESSAGES [Fri Mar 7 15:39:13 2008] END HANDLER MESSAGES [Fri Mar 7 15:39:13 2008] action exited with status 0 [Fri Mar 7 15:39:13 2008] completed event "ibm/hotkey HKEY 00000080 00001018" So, acpid does basically this in this event: sudo acpi_fakekey 148 + + REPRODUCE: + 1. start "xev" (from x11-utils) in a shell/terminal + 2. arrange the xev window and terminal so that you can see events from xev in the shell window + 3. in another shell execute "sleep 10; sudo acpi_fakekey 148" + 4. Move the mouse cursor/focus in the xev window + 5. Check if a KeyPress and KeyRelease gets displayed when the acpi_fakekey gets executed -- [hardy][regression] "Access IBM"/"ThinkVantage" keys not working (KEY_PROG1 ignored by X) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/199502 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
