Bugzilla – Bug 170594
(Fn+Fx) with IBM Thinkpad R51 not working anymore
Last modified: 2006-05-08 07:55:33 UTC
I've looked at this bug: https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=134891 and I seem to be having the same problem. Except that I use a version where /etc/modprobe.d/ibm_acpi looks "ok". ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- root@~ # more /etc/modprobe.d/ibm_acpi # # IBM ACPI driver options # # A detailed description of the parameters for the IBM ACPI driver can be found # in /usr/src/linux/Documentation/ibm-acpi.txt which is part of the package # 'kernel-source'. # # If you encounter problems with the hotkey mask please file a bug on # http://bugzilla.novell.com/ # options ibm_acpi hotkey=enabled,0xffff experimental=1 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This looks ok: ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ root@~ # cat /proc/acpi/ibm/hotkey status: enabled mask: 0xffff commands: enable, disable, reset, <mask> ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ But I can't swith monitor-output(fn-f7) or turn on bluetooth(fn-f5). Nothing happens when I push those. If I do ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ root@~ # echo enable > /proc/acpi/ibm/bluetooth ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ The bluetooth comes alive. So there seems to be something else. Thanks.
With regard to Fn-F7 please have a look at bug #164709. The Bluetooth issue was recently fixed, see bug #128088. Closing as DUPLICATE of bug #128088. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 128088 ***
What does bug #164709 say? ---------------------------- You are not authorized to access bug #164709
Hello? You've closed this bug as resolved when it's not actually resolved for me. I can't watch bug #164709. I get an message saying I'm not authorized. Please give me the solution then you can close this bug. Thanks.
Please calm down. As I was not in CC'ed to the bug, I did not get notified about comment #2. Quoting #164709: > The switchdisplay Fn key works in so many different ways, that it > currently is not (always) supported in X. You have to configure X to > enable the secondary output (in sax2). After that it just works, without > switching the output on or off. Again, closing as duplicate of bug #128088. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 128088 ***
