Your issue is that you don't have anything to handle the acpi event. I'm not sure what distro you are running. But at least under Ubuntu there is a deamon that montiors for the acpi events. Once it sees the event it then launches a script associated with the event. So for the wireless button FN+F5 the current behavior is to toggle wireless and bluetooth. Though I did write a script to only have it toggle bluetooth. The package is called "acpi-support" in debian & Ubuntu. I'm assuming you are running Suse. Doing a quick google there is a pacakage called "acpid" that looks to do the same thing. So you will need to associate a script to manipulate /proc/acpi/ibm/bluetooth. But thinkpad ACPI is doing it's job since you see the event with acpi-listen. On Wed, May 14, 2008 at 7:21 AM, Thomas Renninger <trenn@xxxxxxx> wrote: > Hi, > > Andreas has (AFAIK an X61?)
