I am currently using kernel 2.6.9 I succeded in installing omnibook module version 2004-09-16. Multimedia keys (www, mail, demo, help, previous track, next track, play, stop) are working fine. The problem comes for volume keys. I used key_polling with my previous system and it works fine. But now, /proc/omnibook/key_polling doesn't exist. So i read t he doc, and tried acpid version 1.0.4 . I got event for the sleep button but nothing for the volume button. Am i missing something ? ------------------------------------------------------------- Someone point out that it may be acpi things related Previously, i was using a mandrake 9.2 with an old version of the omnibook module which was providing key_polling useful for the 2 volume keys in front of my laptop. Now, i am able to use all the multimedia buttons, except those two. I read somewhere in the omnibook module doc that the sleep button and the volume buttons should be detected by acpi. I am using a kernel 2.6.9 (gentoo-dev-source) with acpi version 20040816 and acpid version 1.0.4. When i press the sleep button i get this output in /var/log/acpi : [Mon Nov 22 19:18:27 2004] received event "button/sleep SBTN 00000080 00000002" [Mon Nov 22 19:18:27 2004] executing action "/etc/acpi/default.sh button/sleep SBTN 00000080 00000002" [Mon Nov 22 19:18:27 2004] BEGIN HANDLER MESSAGES [Mon Nov 22 19:18:27 2004] END HANDLER MESSAGES [Mon Nov 22 19:18:27 2004] action exited with status 0 [Mon Nov 22 19:18:27 2004] completed event "button/sleep SBTN 00000080 00000002" But when i press the volume buttons, nothing happens in /var/log/acpid nor xev ...
