Hi Ralphy,

I was playing with ir-keytables the other night to help out diode84 in
creating/using a conf file

I was a little rusty on this so was using a system with Jivelite but no
touchscreen (My Lounge Player) and monitoring using ssh (sudo
ir-keytable -t)
Once I had got what I needed to answer the question I thought I'd tryout
the power button on the remote after peterw's post.

On this system the power button on the remote does indeed toggle the
power on and off, this system uses a custom ir conf file (for my B119A
remote).
I reloaded the defualt conf file and the power still toggled (with my
SB3 remote)

This was odd as I've never been able to do this on my Bedroom system
which has a RPi Touch Screen (With pCP 6.0 anyway, I have a memory that
it may have worked on earlier versions but not sure, maybe lirc ?)

This morning I took my Bedroom system and burned a new 6.0.0 RC1 (Audio)
SD card, setup Jivelite and IR-Keytables and voila the power button did
NOT toggle the power
The screen flashes briefly but nothing else, I connected an LED to GPIO
13 and set up "Power On/Off GPIO" the LED flashed but never stays on
when using the power button however quickly the button is pressed.
If I use KEY_RIGHT the screen comes on and remains on, the LED remains
lit (Power is On)

I then removed the ribbon cable from the TS.
After this the power button DOES toggle the power/screen/LED

When I recconnect the TS the original behaviour comes back.

Could this be related to the problem noted here ?

This also seems to depend on the connection of a touchscreen
