Package: acpi-support Version: 0.90-4 Followup-For: Bug #373660 Actually, acpi_fakekey does work, at least for normal keys, and as root. For instance, # grep KEY_Q /usr/share/acpi-support/key-constants KEY_Q=16 # acpi_fakekey 16 q
When used with a azerty keyboard, this becomes: # acpi_fakekey 16 a As a normal user, it does nothing. I guess this is because a non-root is not allowed to write to the keyboard /dev/input/eventX. But when one tries to acpi_fakekey $KEY_SLEEP (142 in /sur/share/acpi-support/key_constants), no ACPI event is sent. I think that is why the ThinkPad sleep key, does not work: * It send an IBM hotkey... ACPI event. * As writtent in /etc/acpi/events/ibm-sleepbtn, acpid launches /etc/acpi/sleepbtn.sh. * That sleepbtn.sh script acpi_fakekey $KEY_SLEEP's. * Nothing more. It probably sould send a button/sleep ACPI event, but does not. Hope that may help.
