	+	== Problem with ACPI key event codes in OpenSuse 12.3 ==

	+
	+	The below information was relevant on my Thinkpad Z60m running:
	+	Linux 3.7.10-1.1-desktop
	+	OpenSuse 12.3
	+	KDE 4.10.00 "release 1"
	+
	+	I am currently running:
	+	Linux 3.7.10-1.4-desktop
	+	OpenSuse 12.3
	+	KDE 4.10.2 "release 1"
	+	and everything said below is still valid.
	+
	+
	+	--[[User:Jespergoll\|Jespergoll]] ([[User talk:Jespergoll\|talk]]) 16:20, 9 May 2013 (CEST)
	+
	+
	+	----
	+
	+
	+	I upgraded my Thinkpad Z60m to OpenSuse 12.3 shortly after its release on March 13th 2013 - and soon found that my ACPI key handling script ({{path\|/usr/lib/acpid/thinkpad_handler}}) was broken.
	+
	+	Specifically, they key events reported by the ACPI driver were different from what they had been before the upgrade - and so the following information (in {{path\|../Documentation/laptops/thinkpad-acpi.txt}}) '''was no longer true on my system''':
	+
	+	The driver will report HKEY events in the following format:
	+
	+	ibm/hotkey HKEY 00000080 0000xxxx
	+
	+	Now, instead, the same HKEY events are generally reported in the following format:
	+
	+	button/xxxxx YYY 00000080 00000000 K
	+
	+	- where "xxxxx" is a lowercase name for either the key or the key function, and YYY is a shorter, capitalized version of the same. For example, Fn-F12 ("suspend to disk") is now being reported as:
	+
	+	button/suspend SUSP 00000080 00000000 K
	+
	+	I have found one exception to this general rule: Fn-F7 (the video switch button) is now being reported as:
	+
	+	video/switchmode VMOD 00000080 00000000 K
	+
	+
	+	So I had to rewrite my key handler script ({{path\|/usr/lib/acpid/thinkpad_handler}}), and even the event mask (found in {{path\|/etc/acpi/events/thinkpad}}). My general key event mask now looks like this:
	+
	+	event=button/.*
	+	action=/usr/lib/acpid/thinkpad_handler "%e"
	+
	+	To get the video switch script back in shape I created an additional event mask ({{path\|/etc/acpi/events/video}}) with the following content:
	+
	+	event=video/switchmode
	+	action=/usr/lib/acpid/video_handler "%e"
	+
	+	and moved the video switching routines to a new script: {{path\|/usr/lib/acpid/video_handler}}.
	+
	+
	+	Here is a list of the key events I have explored, and the event reports they now produce:
	+
	+	{{key\|Fn}}{{key\|F1}} button/fnf1 FNF1 00000080 00000000 K
