I think my problem is the same as this.
I have a netbook which is reported as H80CH model (using dmesg | grep asus) in
Kubuntu Lucid (beta 1), and for me, the hotkey event is: hotkey HOTK 0000006a.
The event is catched by /etc/acpi/events/asus-touchpad by the following line:
event=hotkey (ATKD|HOTK) (0000006[ab]|00000037)
However, I saw the /etc/acpi/asus-touchpad.sh script was not handling my
touchpad, as it's an Alps, not Synaptics. I had to rename that script and use
this as a replacement:
#!/bin/bash
[ -f /usr/share/acpi-support/state-funcs ] || exit 0
. /usr/share/acpi-support/power-funcs
getXconsole
DEVICE="AlpsPS/2 ALPS GlidePoint"
PROPERTY="Device Enabled"
QUERY=`xinput list-props "$DEVICE" | grep "$PROPERTY"`
VALUE=${QUERY#*:}
if [ $VALUE == "1" ]; then
xinput set-int-prop "AlpsPS/2 ALPS GlidePoint" "Device Enabled" 8 0;
else
xinput set-int-prop "AlpsPS/2 ALPS GlidePoint" "Device Enabled" 8 1;
fi
exit 0
So, I think that the bug is the acpi event handler. Ah, I also had to add the
acpid service to start on boot: update-rc.d acpid defaults
