Hm, newer ThinkPads have a battery symbol on this key.

But on those we get a ACPI event.

Holger, what do you think?

Do you also see an event when running lshal -m?

Thank you!

I have just noticed that when I have the orange LED light turned on and
press the key, it gets turned off. The LCD stays on, though. On the
other hand, automatically switching output when I insert VGA cable does
not work either, I discovered recently - I have to manually set the
output with xrandr. So maybe this is more related to the X server?

Next question:  Do you use KDE or GNOME?  We've identified the desktop
environment to be responsible.  Depending on what DE you're using,
please give it a try with the other DE ;-)

In case it doesn't work with GNOME, Holger has verified that gnome-
settings-daemon is responsible.

I use KDE (I don't really know why anymore since kpowersave and
knetworkmanager suck so much). I will give GNOME a try next time I log
out, but that might take quite a while.

GNOME does not work either. (Also, curiously, fn-f4 triggers hibernate
instead of suspend in GNOME. fn-f12 triggers hibernate both in KDE and
GNOME.)

OK, thanks for the information.  You may configure the behavior in
GNOME, but let's leave this aside for now.

Holger, it's been a while since we discussed this (comment #6).  Can you
still recall what made me write this comment? :)

My test that gnome-settings-daemon is responsible was wrong. It's
actually gnome-screensaver. I also get

16:48:45.602: computer_logicaldev_input_3 condition ButtonPressed =

which is the FN-F2 here and has a lock symbol on it. Starting

 $ gnome-screensaver --no-daemon --debug

also shows

[listener_dbus_handle_system_message] gs-listener-dbus.c:1481 (16:47:34):

So I've no Idea why at least this doesn't work for you when running
gnome. Anyway, reassigning to GNOME maintainers, because the base seems
healthy.

The version with which you had the bug is now obsolete. I'll close this
as NORESPONSE. If you can still reproduce it in current 11.4, please
reopen the bug and move it to the appropriate version. Thanks!
