X61 + 2.6.28.7 + thinkpad_acpi 0.21 - HAL hotkeys handling

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hello,just wanted to ask if exists HOWTO setup acpi hotkeys through new HALinterface. I'm still using acpid on X60s. But on my new X61 seemsdoesnt work and also is obsolete if I understand correctly.Currently I have hotkeys working in X - when I press volume up/down Ican see them in xev as XF86something and same for Fn+ combos. This iswrong behavior for me, because I'm also using console without X, orsometimes my X.org freezes (now I'm on DRI2 branch as tester) - then Ican't do nothing other than shutdown computer which reacts ok over sshbut its screen is stuck with frozen X.org (killing X.org doesn't help,other long story) - so I want to be able react to acpi poweroff andunmount all devices etc. This is not possible with current behaviorbecause frozen X.org (logicaly) doesn't handle keys any more.What I want is to generate HAL event for thinkpad-acpi key event andusing halevt daemon react to it by launching ... bash script forexample.Is there this option? I tried shortly this weekend, I can reconfigurekeys mapping but I'm not able to emit event - neither dbus or halevt inmonitor mode doesn't show any events made by pressing buttons.
I will be happy if you just point me to existing howto/webpage on thisissue if any exists.
PS: I don't understand why more and more of basic computer functionsare being hard-wired to X-able environment. There are people who still areusing linux console occasionaly afaik.
PS2: I'm sorry for broken english (I'm selftaught), hope you willunderstand.
