Hi OldÅich,
Per our log.
It's a interesting and weird situation.
Your log subvert my assumption, the BT HW key only emit one
KEY_BLUETOOTH from ec but not from acer-wmi.

Per your lshal log, looks like HAL only receive the key event from EC
but didn't have key event from acer-wmi:
*** 22:21:01.310: lshal: device_condition,
udi=/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/platform_i8042_i8042_KBD_port_logicaldev_input
condition_name=ButtonPressed
condition_details=bluetooth //it's from standard input
*** 22:21:02.076: lshal: property_modified,
udi=/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/platform_acer_wmi_rfkill_acer_bluetooth_bluetooth, key=killswitch.state
is_removed=false, is_added=false
*** new value: 1 (0x1) (int) //UNBLOCK when you press BT HW key
So, there have only one KEY_BLUETOOTH from ec, acer-wmi didn't emit it. I thought your
machine didn't support Acer ACPI event GUIDs. Please dump the dsdt to me, thank's:
acpidump > acpidump.dat
Then, if there only have one KEY_BLUETOOTH, why the global BT state didn't change by
rfill-input? Technically, rfkill-input must receive this key then change global state:
your situation:
initial press HW key
acer-wmi BLOCK UNBLOCK (changed by acer-wmi polling)
global BLOCK BLOCK (why didn't changed by rfkill-input?)
hci0 none BLOCK (replicate from global)
Like you said, the odd thing is:
"Why rfkill-input didn't receive KEY_BLUEOOTH from ec on your machine?"
We need find out root cause, but I thought my last patch still works to fix your
situation and it make sense for Acer BIOS didn't really persistence devices state.
applied my patch:
initial press HW key
acer-wmi BLOCK UNBLOCK (changed by acer-wmi polling)
global UNBLOCK UNBLOCK (didn't changed by rfkill-input?)
hci0 none UNBLOCK (replicate from global)
Conclusion...
please kindly help to provide the following information:
- Please provide DSDT to me
+ I want to double check your BIOS didn't support acer wmi event.
- Why rfkill-input didn't call by BT HW key?
+ please remember disable urfkill daemon, it might disabled rfkill-input!
+ please provide dmesg and messages log to me
Thank's a lot!
