I'm happy to report that Timo's proposed
/etc/hal/fdi/policy/thinkpad.fdi file works on my system as well,
restoring Fn-F{2,3,12} to working order under my normal account. Fn-F4
(sleep) does not appear to work - so the delta here for me is that
Fn-F12 (hibernate) has started working.
Fn-F4 continues to be problematic, both in that it doesn't reliably
generate events (why is the sleep key the only one that has some sort of
mandatory delay between events when you press it? how long is the
timeout, to confirm that this is really the issue?), and that nothing
appears to act on the events. Interestingly, there's a different ACPI
event depending on whether the thinkpad_acpi module is loaded:
ibm/hotkey HKEY 00000080 00001004 vs. button/sleep SLPB 00000080
00000001, and neither appears to be recognized by hal.
Matt does this match the behavior you see if you use the above
thinkpad.fdi?
Timo, if this takes care of the issue, is this an appropriate fix for
the problem, that can be included in hal?
The Fn+F7 button (video output) is also still not recognized for me by
hal, but I don't know if that's related to this bug.
