All,
Running Fedora 16 on my Thinkpad Edge 13" and things have been working
very well for a year or so.
Sometime in the past month some type of package update has caused almost
all of the special function keys to stop working.
I have tried downgrades of the kernel to try and work out at what point
things stopped, but without success.
The next thing I have tried is loading the thinkpad_acpi with debugging
enabled - the messages are included below.
Am now at a loss as to what else I can do to debug this issue. The media
play (Fn+F11) and 'forward' (Fn+F12) keys at least send events through,
all the others do nothing. In addition closing the lid no longer
suspends the machine, and the power applet in Fedora 16 no longer
reports whether the battery is running off mains or is discharging.
What can be done to see why the keys are not reporting anything? All
problems started at the same time so I think it is all related to a
single change.
Happy to provide whatever additional details might be useful to help
diagnosing what is going on.
Thanks in advance,
Jason
