Bluetooth activation on Thinkpad T61 doesn't work anymore.
Last modified: 2008-05-19 13:53:37 UTC
I've tried to activate bluetooth on my T61 (with Fn + F4) today. Nothing changes if I press the button but I can see the acpi event. krikkit:~ # acpi_listen ibm/hotkey HKEY 00000080 00001005 hwinfo: http://www.cynapses.org/tmp/hwinfo-krikkit.log Let me know if you need more details.
I can activate it with: echo 1 > /sys/devices/platform/thinkpad_acpi/bluetooth_enable
So it's working properly now? I'm confused as to what the problem is here...
If I press the button on my Thinkpad to activate/deactivate bluetooth nothing happens. If I 'echo' a 1 to /sys/devices/platform/thinkpad_acpi/bluetooth_enable bluetooth gets activated and 0 disables bluetooth. I want to press the button to enable or disable bluetooth :)
Sounds like a userspace program problem. It's not picking up the acpi event properly, the kernel looks to be working just fine here. Reassigning...
Thomas, please elaborate a little more how we should proceed for OS11.0. Thank you!
Same for T60p.
Likely to affect all ThinkPads, right, Thomas?
I got a mail that things will heavily change for 2.6.27 and that the guy is working on patches. He said the current state in kernel is rather broken. He advised that we should go for backports which will be very difficult from a time point of view. I do not have much time currently and I do not see how I should be able to read up this topic on lkml (pasted from mail) and do the backporting: > The design for the rfkill changes was debated on LKML in a somewhat > long thread, if you want to get up to speed on the issues. > Look for it on the last two month's archives. ------------ This probably should be done by the mobile team, Christian?
I think this is also bug 371927
