Hi folks, as the package eeepc-acpi-scripts is no more maintained, I am trying to fix some bugs for myself.
However, I think I will need your help, as I am not much experienced in coding. Mostly, I need someone expert, whom I may ask some questions, so that I understand, how the scripts are working. I think, the acpi-maintainers might be the best choice? My first question: Where is eeepc-acpi-scripts reading the keystroke, and what is it triggering? At the moment I am working to find out, why Fn + F7 (Screen on/off) is not working any more. Maybe my solution will fix some other bugs. At the moment I found out the following: In the shellscript "/usr/share/acpi-support/eeepc-acpi-scripts/hotkey.sh" the line BACKLIGHT=/sys/class/backlight/eeepc/brightness is wrong, as this ios not existing, but should be BACKLIGHT=/sys/class/backlight/intel_backlight/brightness if [ -e "$DEFAULT" ]; then . "$DEFAULT"; fi . $FUNC_LIB . $PKG_DIR/lib/notify.sh code=$3 value=$(test "x$1" = x- && cat "$BACKLIGHT" || echo "0x$3") # FIXME: should be defined in /usr/share/acpi-support/key-constants which # should be regenerated from a recent copy of /usr/include/linux/input.h # (see: #603471). KEY_DISPLAY_OFF=245 Related to this script, I could not find any definition to the variable DEFAULT. Can someone confirm or deny this? In /usr/share/acpi-support/eeepc-acpi-scripts/button.sh I think, the line [ -d /sys/devices/platform/eeepc-wmi ] || exit 0 is wrong, too, as eeepc-wmi is not loaded. Instead it should be like in hotkey.sh: [ -d /sys/devices/platform/eeepc ] || [ -d /sys/devices/platform/eeepc-wmi ] || exit 0 Ok, it is still not working! There is still something else wrong. But I found out, that the commands echo 0 > /sys/class/backlight/intel_backlight/brightness and echo 24500 > /sys/class/backlight/intel_backlight/brightness are switching the display on and off. This means, Fn + F7 should work, but are not corectly triggered. I believe, the same cause might be the reason for Fn + SPACE not working (switching Super Hybrid Engine ). If Fn + F7 is fixed, I will care about that. I hope, someone is better experienced than me, and there is someone willing, to help. Might be nice! Thanks for reading this. I will keep you informed, if I found out new errors. Have a nice weekend. Hans -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
