[ltp] ibm-acpi-0.4

[Nick Bower]

I've got problems with this on my T42 - it won't capture a FN+F4/F3.  I
have the latest kernel 2.6.8.1 and ACPI patch, but:

# modprobe ibm_acpi hotkey=enable,0xffff
 (or echo 0xffff > /proc/acpi/ibm/hotkey)
# more /proc/acpi/ibm/hotkey
state:          enabled
mask:           0x09dc <==== ???
commands:       enable, disable, reset, <mask>

and no effect from FN+F4 or FN+F3.  Shutting the lid works as I have
ACPI standby, suspend etc setup ready to go for these keys (although the
fan won't stop).  Could anyone suggest why these keys aren't trapped?

Thanks!  Nick.
