Rotate button on side of HP TM2 screen doesn't work. Discussions I have seen cite that acpi_listen doesn't report anything when the button is pressed However I noticed in syslog that HP WMI reports a keypress for 2169. In both these kernels, xinput test 16 (where 16 is the id of the HP WMI hotkeys device) is silent. In the mainline kernel 2.6.36, the same command does show key pressed en key released events for the rotate button.
Recategorised under x86 platform drivers, cc Dmitry, mark as a regression.
Can you provide the syslog output?
Created attachment 54252 [details] syslog Hi, So attached my syslog. It's a bit long but you can see on the last two lines that I pressed twice the rotation key and the syslog responds: Apr 13 11:04:28 Linux kernel: [ 1219.369138] HP WMI: Unknown response received Apr 13 11:04:38 Linux kernel: [ 1229.356497] HP WMI: Unknown response received
On Touchsmart tm2 2010eg, I do have a slightly different situation: dmesg does not report anything (maybe I lack a DBG option?) but I get *sporadic* responses to pressing the rotate button aside of the screen on the event device and the corresponding xinput device. Sporadic as in 2% of the cases.
The key being reported by xinput is 161
HP Touchsmart tm2 1070us Hi, i can confirm the bug in kernel 2.6.38 and 2.6.39!!!!
But still present on Kernel 3.0 and 3.2
I tried as well on Kernel 3.3, still there. :-(
Have you tried recently? I added a patch that is in 3.16 that may work for you.
Hi Kyle, thank you for your message. I tried in the Ubuntu 14.10 with kernel 3.16 and it works!!! Thank you!. Mark as solved!
