Activating some Fn keys (ACPI)
|

| Hi
I noticed that on my laptop with my current kernel (2.6.13.1 with suspend2
patch) some of Fn keys do not generate acpi events. My laptop is a
Linuxcertified LC2210. Fn+F1 does generate an [SLPB] event
in /var/log/acpid.log but Fn+F4 (monitor switch) does not. I am planning to
use i810switch (btw. this nifty program solves the
X-server-running-and-activating-the-external-display problem for me) and
bind it to Fn+F4.
If I boot up with an external projector connected, and then use Fn+F4, it
works as it should (LCD->LCD+CRT->CRT->LCD), but once the xserver is
running, it seems to be unresponsive.
Thanks.

Well, I need to have it recognized as an ACPI event to use i810switch with
it. Is there a way to configure acpi to recognize it as such ?
