User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; de; rv:1.9.1.3) Gecko/20090909 SUSE/3.5.3-3.1 Firefox/3.5.3 Hi, the powermanagement module is not reacting on the hotkeys Fn-F4 (S2RAM) resp. Fn-F12 (S2DISK). Suspend and hibernate work fine when triggered from the power management module, but the hotkeys cant get assigned to it (was working fine with KDE 3.5, ThinkPad Z60m). The keys themself are recognized: axel@z60m:~> lshal -m Start monitoring devicelist: ------------------------------------------------- 12:47:38.495: computer_logicaldev_input_3 condition ButtonPressed = hibernate 12:47:43.766: computer_logicaldev_input_3 condition ButtonPressed = sleep respectively xev: S2Disk: KeyRelease event, serial 34, synthetic NO, window 0x5200001, root 0x6d, subw 0x0, time 678796, (854,917), root:(858,942), state 0x0, keycode 165 (keysym 0x0, NoSymbol), same_screen YES, XLookupString gives 0 bytes: XFilterEvent returns: False S2Ram: KeyPress event, serial 34, synthetic NO, window 0x5200001, root 0x6d, subw 0x0, time 682263, (854,917), root:(858,942), state 0x0, keycode 223 (keysym 0x0, NoSymbol), same_screen YES, XLookupString gives 0 bytes: XmbLookupString gives 0 bytes: XFilterEvent returns: False I assume the same problem in 11.2M8, but I will check...

I have now installed 11.2RC2 on an IBM ThinkPad A30: No hotkey for suspend/hibernate anymore - was working perfectly with 11.0/KDE 3.5
Created attachment 325084 [details] Script I used in opensuse 11.1 handling thinkpad events
I can confirm this bug. My Machine: sys_vendor = "IBM" sys_product = "18605EG" sys_version = "ThinkPad R52" bios_version = "70ET69WW (1.29 )" (It is not a 64bit machine.) I updated system from 11.1 to 11.2RC1 and then to 11.2RC2. In 11.1 everything was working with the script I attached. It seems not to be supported anymore. the file thinkpad_handler is almost empty. why? is it now managed by the kernel? All specific buttons are recognized, but nothing which should be handled by software, is working. krybsnotebook:/home/kryb # lshal -m Start monitoring devicelist: ------------------------------------------------- 10:39:37.868: computer_logicaldev_input_2 condition ButtonPressed = coffee ^@10:39:38.648: computer_logicaldev_input_2 condition ButtonPressed = sleep ^@10:39:40.161: computer_logicaldev_input_2 condition ButtonPressed = wlan ^@10:39:40.919: computer_logicaldev_input_2 condition ButtonPressed = switch-videomode 10:39:41.945: computer_logicaldev_input_2 condition ButtonPressed = hibernate ^@10:39:43.224: computer_logicaldev_input_2 condition ButtonPressed = brightness-up ^@10:39:43.885: computer_logicaldev_input_2 condition ButtonPressed = brightness-down ^@10:39:45.969: computer_logicaldev_input_2 condition ButtonPressed = kbd-illum-toggle 10:39:51.518: computer_logicaldev_input_2 condition ButtonPressed = volume-down ^@10:39:51.960: computer_logicaldev_input_2 condition ButtonPressed = volume-up ^@10:39:53.328: computer_logicaldev_input_2 condition ButtonPressed = mute
Created attachment 326263 [details] Python script to fix hotkeys Here is a little python script that I got aware of via the ThinkPad mailing list - it works fine on 11.2RC, but does not fix then handling on 11.1, both on KDE 4.3.x
Update: to be placed in ~/.kde4/Autostart, requires python-xlib to be installed
This script worked for me for suspend, hibernate, lock display. :) still wlan and also the power button are not working. -> bug 551833
My xev says: KeyPress event, serial 34, synthetic NO, window 0x3e00001, root 0x10b, subw 0x0, time 37267041, (388,295), root:(392,355), state 0x0, keycode 150 (keysym 0x1008ff2f, XF86Sleep), same_screen YES, XLookupString gives 0 bytes: XmbLookupString gives 0 bytes: XFilterEvent returns: False It seems the powerdevil thing is completely ignoring XF86Sleep etc. events; I think not handling this is major usability problem, so bumping severity. (I have also upgraded from 11.1. And BTW, I had to manually enable the powerdevil service in settings, in case that might be related. Of course since then the session got restarted many times.)
