Thanks - now let me try to sum this up in order to get it straight (I've been reading the ACPI spec and had to fight sleep really hard :-). 1. EC detects an event (hotkey), raises an SCI. 2. Linux ec.c driver services the SCI, queries the EC for event code. 3. If available, ec.c calls ACPI _Qxx method for received event code. 4. _Qxx method changes some internal state and MAY again call Notify(...) to pass the event to some other ACPI device. 5. If Notify() was called, second-level ACPI driver (e.g. battery.c, thermal.c, ...) gets event and handles it accordingly. If that's correct so far, couldn't I just print the EC event code in acpi_ec_sync_query and see what it's spitting out on hotkey press?
