Yes. > Could you use lsinput to find out which input event is the “ThinkPad > Extra Buttons” one (here it's the 3) and run: It's 7. > sudo input-events 3 (or your number) > Press Fn+F4 and Fn+F12 and tell me what is reported by that. Running "input-events 7" as root, I obtain: # on pressing the sleep key 15:49:00.986062: EV_KEY KEY_SLEEP pressed 15:49:00.986073: EV_SYN code=0 value=0 15:49:00.986077: EV_KEY KEY_SLEEP released 15:49:00.986081: EV_SYN code=0 value=0 # on pressing the hibernate key 15:49:05.190784: EV_KEY KEY_SUSPEND pressed 15:49:05.190794: EV_SYN code=0 value=0 15:49:05.190799: EV_KEY KEY_SUSPEND released 15:49:05.190802: EV_SYN code=0 value=0 Surprisingly, pressing the sleep key within input-events *does* cause the system to sleep, even though it has no effect normally. Pressing the hibernate key has no effect either way. > Which kernel version do you use, btw?
