Finally, I borrow a Acer Aspire one ZG8 from Gary, it can reproduce your situation. The BAD thing is you are right, I CAN REPRODUCE rfkill-input didn't receive any input, it not make sense because rfkill-input registered input handler. The BT HW key still works because acer-wmi have polling to sync the state with EC and killswitch, and EC also take care the BT device power off job. But, I also found SOMETIMES after system reboot, rfkill-input can capture the key event. We need find out why input handle didn't receive KEY_* event. Hi, Dmitry Appreciate if you can give us any good suggestions! Why keyboard emit KEY_BLUETOOTH, but rfkill-input, registered input handler, can't capture it? *** 06:32:42.972: lshal: device_condition, udi=/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/platform_i8042_i8042_KBD_port_logicaldev_input condition_name=ButtonPressed condition_details=bluetooth But, SOMETIMES after reboot system, rfkill-input can capture the key. We are working on 2.6.38 kernel, and Acer notebook. Thank's a lot!
