Hi, people
The Fn keys of my notebook do not generate scancodes, but ACPI events
instead. I would like to map these events to X keysyms, so that the Fn
keys are usable in X. How do I do that?
The F8 kernel (2.6.23.1-49.fc8) and acpid get the ACPI events and logs
messages like the following (F7 kernels and F7 acpid did not):
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Dec 3 18:17:23 home-03 acpid: received event "hotkey ATKD 00000050
00000000"
Dec 3 18:17:23 home-03 acpid: notifying client 2169[68:68]
Dec 3 18:17:23 home-03 acpid: notifying client 2354[0:0]
Dec 3 18:17:23 home-03 acpid: completed event "hotkey ATKD 00000050
00000000"
Dec 3 18:17:23 home-03 acpid: received event "hotkey ATKD 00000051
00000000"

Dec 3 18:17:23 home-03 acpid: completed event "hotkey ATKD 00000051
00000000"

Other Fn keys (the ones to control LCD brightness) produce errors like:
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Dec 3 18:17:34 home-03 kernel: ACPI Error (psargs-0355):
[\_SB_.PCI0.P0P2.VGA_.LCDD] Namespace lookup failure, AE_NOT_FOUND

Dec 3 18:17:35 home-03 kernel: ACPI Error (psargs-0355):

AE_NOT_FOUND
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Is it possible to make these work?
Thanks,
Marcelo
The <FN>brightness keys work out of the box on all the laptops I have
built. I am no help there.
As for using other keys, in GNOME, you can map keys with:
System/Preferences/Personal/Keyboard Shortcuts
Fedora 8 recognized my laptop volume controls without having to do this. :)
