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.

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).

There also is: [Bug 9995] 2.6.25-rc1 regression - backlight controlls do not work - ThinkPad T61 http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9995 They introduced a bug (brightness is controlled via Nvidia ACPI device using Software Interrupt instead of the Intel ACPI graphics card device), therefore it works by luck. This is all a huge mess currently and is very BIOS, graphics card and graphics driver specific... I doubt we can do much for 11.0, but need to work on this in time for 11.1/SLE11.

BTW, after running OpenSUSE 11.0 b3 once, brightness control also failed in Windows XP on the same machine. Have you done a BIOS update? There were new ACPI BIOS brightness functions introduced for Vista.

Not sure if this is applicable or not, but /etc/modprobe.d/thinkpad_acpi does not contain any mask params for me.

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.

I can remember a statement that the driver normally gets things done correctly and that this mask should not be touched by default. I try to get Henrique's attention on this.
