Hello everyone.

I have a Tecra A4 PTA42E with Bios 1.10 (no new bios is available) and
with an integrated ATI X700 (my guess is that Greg has a PTA40 that is
slight different).

With Ubuntu 7.10 final, running as a LiveCD I have the following
results.

I'm using the following boot paramaters: lapic pci=routeirq

- /var/log/acpid does not record any keypress
- using xfe both Fn+F10 and Fn+11 are incorrectly recorded as "numlock", and 
keys from the virtual numeric pad are recorded too
- Fn+F5 even if not recorded will try to swith to an external monitor, 
corrupting the X display (don't if the external display works, I haven't one 
handy).

Installing the gesal drivers the hotkeys are still dead, anyway during
the compile I receive the following warning, maybe the fn keypress is
never detected?

      /home/ubuntu/Desktop/tecra_acpi-0.1/tecra_acpi.c: In function 
‘read_fn_interface’:
     /home/ubuntu/Desktop/tecra_acpi-0.1/tecra_acpi.c:297: warning: unused 
variable ‘fn_pressed’

It is anyway possible to change the LCD brightness level echoing values
from 0 to 7 in /proc/acpi/tecra/lcd.

if you take a look at /proc/acpi/tecra/aerial you will see that the
bluetooth module is considered OFF even if actually it isn't.

Bluetooth adapter:              1
Bluetooth status:               0
Wireless adapter:               1
Wireless status:                1

You can also try the following:

echo 0 > /proc/acpi/tecra/aerial
Turns Bluetooth OFF, turns WIFI OFF

echo 2 > /proc/acpi/tecra/aerial
Turns Bluetooth OFF, turns WIFI ON

echo 1 > /proc/acpi/tecra/aerial
Turns Bluetooth ON, turns WIFI OFF

echo 3 > /proc/acpi/tecra/aerial
Turns Bluetooth ON, turns WIFI ON

But if you change the status of the Bluetooth module, it will stay
disabled (I haven't tried to unload and reload all the modules).

Attached you can find the /proc/acpi/dsdt file.

Regards.
