Hm, meanwhile I don't have the original Alpha 7 anymore, I already did some
factory updates.
Now '/proc/acpi/ibm/hotkey' is indeed enabled by default. In
'/etc/modprobe.d/ibm_acpi' I have the line:
options ibm_acpi hotkey=enabled,0xffff experimental=1
But, pressing FN+F5 to enable/disable bluetooth doesn't work. I changed the
line to:
options thinkpad_acpi hotkey=enabled,0xffff experimental=1
but that didn't help either. FN+F5 is not working. I also renamed
/etc/modprobe.d/ibm_acpi to /etc/modprobe.d/thinkpad_acpi, but it made no
difference. Well, I think ibm_acpi is somewhere defined to be an alias for
thinkpad_acpi, because I can call 'modprobe ibm_acpi', but thinkpad_acpi is
loaded. Anyway, for consistency, I would propose renaming
/etc/modprobe.d/ibm_acpi to /etc/modprobe.d/thinkpad_acpi. You should also
update the explaining comment in this file, because it still references to the
documentation at /usr/src/linux/Documentation/ibm-acpi.txt, but this file no
longer exists. It's now /usr/src/linux/Documentation/thinkpad-acpi.txt.
But the big problem still remains here, FN+F5 does not work any longer at all,
although /proc/acpi/ibm/hotkey ist set to "enabled". I can still enable/disable
bluetooth via /proc/acpi/ibm/bluetooth, but not via FN+F5. Could the reason be
the new kernel 2.6.22.1-14? Well, I could downgrade to 2.6.22.1-10 to see if it
works again, but actually I don't want to downgrade if there are other ways to
find out what's the problem this time.
