[Ultrakorne]

on my acer tm 4501 i cant see my bt device (usb) on lsusb.
the button in front of the laptop used to turn bt on didnt works (and
the same for wifi i think :( )

this is the output on dmes when pushing the button:

Unknown key pressed (translated set 2, code 0xd6 on isa0060/serio0).
atkbd.c: Use 'setkeycodes e056 <keycode>' to make it known

This is quite normal. When you press the WiFi button, you'll see
similar messages (with different eXXX codes). 
On my TravelMate 4000WLMi, WiFi works like a charm, and the WiFi
button works as well. Haven't tried BlueTooth.

I've used the setkeycodes program to assign key codes, and use
xbindkeys to intercept the codes to generate on screen display
messages.

Sure. Does this list accept attachments?

Okay. Attached is "acer_keys", a script to run at boot time to map all
unmapped Acer specific keys to keycodes.
Note that the key code set is different from the one received by X,
but that seems to be a known problem.
Also attached is ".xbindkeysrc", a bindkeys configuration to intercept
some of these keys and do something.
xbindkeys is probably on your computer already, if not, use Google.
xosd is a small script (attached) that uses osd-cat (Google) to show
on-screen message.

Have phun!

No. That's why I'm lurking around in the ACPI devel list ;-).

Actually, I'm prepared to give it a try, but I'm no ACPI wizard. So
first I want to learn from the experts.
