FORGET any tests with X running. I mean it. Do it in single-user mode, or at least in console mode. And "HAL" could confuse things as well. 2. To know if the keyboard is getting something, you will need to use the lsinput and input-events tools. Use lsinput to find the keyboard, and input-events to see if a key reports any events. If typing on the keyboard produces no input-event output, it means you got the wrong input device, OR that some crap is stealing the events. Go single-user in that case :-) Please report back the keyboard input events you get for any special keys. Typically you should get them for the volume up/down keys at the very least. If you do, check what happens when mute is pressed, and when each volume key is pressed with MUTE active. > the key event thing is a bit strange - there is an acpi event, which is > calling acpi_fakekey 148, but that somehow never makes it to X. To test thinkpad ACPI events properly: 1. Go to single user mode 2. Load up thinkpad-acpi 3. Load up acpid 4. Use acpi-events to check any events produced. If none are produced, either it is not an ACPI event, or the kernel doesn't know about a new ACPI node that needs event handling. You can find ACPI nodes that can have events on them by hunting down for "notify" commands on the ACPI DSDT and SSDTs code for the X300. You get the DSDT and SSDTs using acpidump, and acpixtract can be used to split the acpidump output into the binary representations of the DSDT and SSDTs. You get the AML source code from the binary output of acpixtract by using the Intel "iasl" command, with the -d switch. > 0 - power button (yes, this really does have an LED in it) Cute.

It is what is giving us trouble in the X61 and T61 too. -- "One disk to rule them all, One disk to find them. One disk to bring them all and in the darkness grind them.
