CM vs FF buttons

CM vs FF buttons

[Justin Georgeson]

I have an Inspiron 2600 laptop and the sleep button (Fn+Esc) doesn't
seem to trigger an ACPI event. It works in Windows, so I tried
recompiling my DSDT. But that didn't help. Checking out my dmesg
output, I see this. I read some mention of FF vs CM on the gentoo
forums post about fixing your DSDT. They mention a kernel patch to
ignore FF buttons so they might be redetected as CM, but my sleep
button is already CM. Is there a way to see it as FF?

ACPI: Power Button (FF) [PWRF]
ACPI: Sleep Button (CM) [SLPB]

button working
