> However, the Zoom key (i.e., Fn-Space) is still not seen by xev. Correct. X can only handly 256 distinct keycodes due to a protocol limitation, and due to evdev the keycodes are now standardized to match the Linux input layer - with no keycode below 256 that could reasonably be substituted for KEY_ZOOM. As a workaround, you can add your own fdi file to /etc/hal/fdi/information that maps this key to a different keycode (see /usr/share/hal/fdi/information/10freedesktop/30-keymap-module-thinkpad-acpi.fdi for an example of how this is currently done). But this is unrelated to acpi_fakekey, which is not needed for ThinkPad keys at all. For concerns about specific hotkeys not working, please open separate bug reports; this bug report should be reserved for the matter of acpi_fakekey itself working, rather than being used as a metabug for all the myriad individual hotkey issues. -- Steve Langasek Give me a lever long enough and a Free OS Debian Developer to set it on, and I can move the world.
