Looks like the same problem as I've here - http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3851 Yes, actually events are get buffered by EC. Try patching drivers/acpi/ec.c, I'm wonder if it works. ;-) It works, thank you ! My faith is back now in 2.6.9 :) Well, you closed a bug too early - it's still not fixed, this was just a proposed patch, so I'm reopening a bug, so Luming Yu can review this an probably mark it as duplicate for 3852. Also, there seems to be other problems - I've spoted the real cause for that as seems... Oh sorry ! I was just too excited :) Hi, I need to understand how hot key works on your specific laptop. So, please attach your DSDT. BTW, Could you give latest patch set at bug 3851 a try? Thanks, Luming Created attachment 4255 [details]

Here's the fixed version
The keys are handled by a special hardware (Dritek). It is activated by a special command that the acerhk driver sends. More info can be found by examining the driver. Here's my DSDT. There are three warnings and several errors (same error repeated).I fixed them all (I hope it's right). I will attach both. I will also give the patches a try later on. Georges. I'd like to know when you press special button, does ACPI interrupt trigger? Could you watch /proc/interrupt to see if acpi can increase after you press special button? If there has ACPI interrupt, then ACPI could be able to handle that special button. From your DSDT, _Q0E will be called when pressing special button, in turn, Z005 will be called to handle some VGA stuff. Could you figure out what kind of special key are handled by Z005? For the first part, the answer is yes, an ACPI interrupt is triggered (I monitored /proc/interrupts). For the second part, I have NO idea what you want me to do exactly. My knowledge is obviously much less than yours in that field. Do you think you could give me some guidelines ? Thanx. Georges. For the issue described here, I'd like to know the testing results of patch mentioned at comment #5 Then, I'd like to follow up a right solution for your specific button. True, I forgot about that. I'll test it tonight, when I get back home. I'll have to reverse the EC patch first, obviously. Stay tuned.... Damn, I just saw that the patch you posted is against 2.6.10, but I run on 2.6.9 :( So I can't test it yet. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 3851 *** |
