Hello, I hope the list can help me to solve this problem: I have the F1 key of my laptop labeled "Ruhezustand" (hibernate in english) - on Windows I can use Fn + F1 zu suspend (RAM or Disk as I like it). On linux this doens't work cause the Dell BIOS doesn't describe the Fn + F1 as a ACPI hotkey and doens't create an ACPI event. My question is how can I "workaround" this problem, e.g. create a ACPI event for this buttons (kernel patch?) or make acpid work with a normal keycode rather than an ACPI event? I can not work on the kernel code myself cause I am not skilled in C language :-( A solution would make quite some Dell Inspiron 6000 happy - I am in the proccess of writing a HowTo for this laptop but this problem is still not sorted out. Thanks in advance!
