This resulted in userpace also adjusting brightness, resulting in only 5 to 6 usable steps. looking further, I found options thinkpad_acpi experimental=1 hotkey=0xffffff in /etc/modprobe.d/50-thinkpad_acpi.conf. The driver authors recommend to not use the hotkey= parameter but just let the driver decide what to do. susi:~ # cat /proc/acpi/ibm/hotkey status: enabled mask: 0x00ffffff commands: enable, disable, reset, <mask> susi:~ # echo reset > /proc/acpi/ibm/hotkey susi:~ # cat /proc/acpi/ibm/hotkey status: enabled mask: 0x038c7fff commands: enable, disable, reset, <mask> The driver decides to enable a totally different set of hotkeys than 50-thinkpad_acpi.conf And it is actually working much better with the defaults than it was with 0xffffff... -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
