In Jaunty (4 March 2009), xev can now see the ThinkVantage keypress on my ThinkPad X61 and the ThinkVantage key can be assigned as a keyboard shortcut in GNOME.
However, the Zoom key (i.e., Fn-Space) is still not seen by xev. acpi_listen can see both ThinkVantage and Zoom: $ acpi_listen ibm/hotkey HKEY 00000080 00001018 ibm/hotkey HKEY 00000080 00001014 xev sees the ThinkVantage key this way: KeyPress event, serial 35, synthetic NO, window 0x4400001, root 0x91, subw 0x0, time 3068137, (74,831), root:(1406,883), state 0x10, keycode 156 (keysym 0x1008ff41, XF86Launch1), same_screen YES, XLookupString gives 0 bytes: XmbLookupString gives 0 bytes: XFilterEvent returns: False KeyRelease event, serial 35, synthetic NO, window 0x4400001, root 0x91, subw 0x0, time 3068137, (74,831), root:(1406,883), state 0x10, keycode 156 (keysym 0x1008ff41, XF86Launch1), same_screen YES, XLookupString gives 0 bytes: XFilterEvent returns: False -- acpi_fakekey stopped working for certain keycodes https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/217504 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
