You can do so by: $ cat /proc/bus/input/devices Identify the input device of the asus-laptop module. Run (replace X with the device number discovered in the previous step): $ evtest /dev/input/eventX This will list the available event codes of the asus-laptop driver. Make sure that something like this is included: (...) Event code 224 (Brightness down) Event code 225 (Brightness up) (...) If this is the case and showkey -s doesn't report anything, then there's also something fishy about asus-laptop ;-) -- 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.

If I add a special acpid rule to print all events to a file, I can see the that those keys cause acpi events to be fired, though. It'd be possible to have a program listen for those events and use the XTest extension to emit the key event. Or maybe something can be done in asus-laptop (no idea about this). Thomas: Magnus has a Thinkpad T43P. I can also see the problem on a Thinkpad T60P.

Thomas, once again we hit the mysterious hotkey mask.
Not sure if this is applicable or not, but /etc/modprobe.d/thinkpad_acpi does not contain any mask params for me. So maybe it does take the mask as a param still, but we just aren't passing it? "options thinkpad_acpi experimental=1" is all I have there. -- 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.

Correct. It used to ship with a parameter (hotkey_mask=0xsomething) or such.
So maybe it does take the mask as a param still, but we just aren't passing it? "options thinkpad_acpi experimental=1" is all I have there.
Right. According to 'modinfo thinkpad-acpi' it does no longer give the possibility for passing a parameter. At least if I'm not mistaken. -- 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.

I tried the following: 1) echo 0x000000 > /proc/acpi/ibm/hotkey 2) confirm hotkeys are not responding 3) rmmod thinkpad_acpi 4) set /etc/modprobe.d/thinkpad_acpi to "options thinkpad_acpi hotkey=enable,0xffffff experimental=1" 5) modprobe thinkpad_acpi Hot keys worked fine after that.

Interestingly - I get an OSD for increasing the brightness [though it gets the brightness level wrong in the bar graph ;-], but not for decreasing the brightness ;-) and I get no volume change display.
Regarding OSD for volume: Please have a look at bug #433553 (e.g. reassigning the keys in gnome-keybindings-properties should help).
Running xev I see Keyboard (or X) events for all the key-presses though.
