[ltp] Anyone got ibm-acpi scripts working on SuSE?

[Bill Sheppard]

I've got a Thinkpad T42 running ibm-acpi, and I'd like to get some of
the Fn-keys working.  SuSE (9.3) seems to have a more elaborate scheme
than documented elsewhere; all events get sent to apcid_proxy, and then
handed out to appropriate scripts.  I've got many of the components
together, but I'm getting lost in the details and would love to see an
example of a working configuration.  For instance, you're supposed to
put the event name into POWERSAVE_EVENT_OTHER in
/etc/sysconfig/powersave/events.  Since the FN hotkey events are
multi-word (i.e. ibm/hotkey HKEY 00000080 00001007) it's not clear to me
whether I need quotes in the sysconfig entry, and what to name the
associated script.

I don't see an easy way to bypass the mechanism, as the sole entry in
/etc/acpi/events has an entry:

event=.*
action=/usr/sbin/acpid_proxy %e

so if I add other scripts in there it's unclear whether this wildcard
would handle all events before my script gets checked.

Thanks for any guidance you can provide!

Bill
