Bugzilla – Bug 290615
USB Bluetooth Device is not activated on IBM Thinkpad T40 and Dell 350
Last modified: 2007-08-10 16:49:19 UTC
By using Factory and acpid-1.0.4-82 I found that by pressing <Fn+F5> special laptop key bluetooth not activates. In messages I see: - [acpid]: notifying client 24201[0:0] - [acpid]: completed event "ibm/hotkey HKEY 00000080 00001005" - powersaved[24201]: WARNING (continueEvent:248) Could not execute program /usr/lib/powersave/scripts for event other: No such file or directory entries and nothing happens. I found it with other special keypresses too. Manually I can enable bluetooth by "echo enable > /proc/acpi/ibm/bluetooth". I found a Gentoo Wiki page that describes the solution: http://gentoo-wiki.com/HARDWARE_IBM_ThinkPad_Z60M#ACPID_Configuration Should be good to take over the acpi event settings.
Heavy work is in progress on the thinkpad-laptop module and key events. Please wait until we reached 2.6.23-rc1 (not sure whether Len can manage it and it might come in in the kernel 2.6.23-rc2). I wonder how I don't forget to tell you when 10.3 reaches these changes. You might want to ping me again in a week or two. Then pls try again. If it still does not work, we need to adjust userspace. Frank: I don't know much about the needed userspace tools. ThinkPad module will work over input layer then. Do you know more about needed userspace support or can add someone to this bug, pls (feel free to take over over if you think it's appropriate).

Can you still reproduce this with latest 10.3 (Alpha7)?
Or better Beta1 now, a lot has changed in kernel since then. If not, I'd like to close this one, then it probably already got fixed up in mainline kernel.
Sorry for speaking up late but we have fixed that. However, the fix will first be shipped with Beta 2. It's a duplicate of bug #297812. Closing as such. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 297812 ***
