Description Will Stephenson 2008-03-13 09:28:56 UTC 
2.6.25-rc4-git1-2-default

showkey -s shows no events on Fn+ key presses, power button, AC power insert etc.
Comment 1 Thomas Renninger 2008-03-26 14:55:54 UTC 
Power button and AC power could theoretically be the autoloading regression, but I more think this is related to some EC things Alexey is currently fighting with...
Comment 2 Jan Ritzerfeld 2008-05-07 17:15:30 UTC 
Using Beta2 on a R61, e.g., Fn-F2 is shown by xev:
KeyRelease event, serial 34, synthetic NO, window 0x3c00001,
    root 0x4f, subw 0x0, time 1161757, (722,376), root:(727,401),
    state 0x0, keycode 146 (keysym 0x0, NoSymbol), same_screen YES,
    XLookupString gives 0 bytes:
    XFilterEvent returns: False

In contrast to 10.3, there is no action performed on most hotkeys. Fn-F2 should lock the screen, Fn-F3 should turn the display off. Since there is no symbol assigned, I cannot add the screen locking via KDE.

11.1b2 on T43p:
None of the Fn-F3 (Display off), Fn-F4 (Standby), Fn-F12 (hibernate) keys work.
They all used to work in 11.0.

Hi Will
11.4 on Thinkpad X200, all function key works except power button.
Would it be possible for you to check again the status in openSUSE11.4? Besides, please run "acpi_listen" when you insert/remove AC power or when pressing power button. These keys would not throw keycode but emit ACPI events which is handled nowadays by upowerd.

Thanks. :)
