Title:
  x61 tablet acpi event ibm hotkey HKEY 00000080 00005009 not mapped to
  keypress

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Expired

Bug description:
  As of ubuntu karmic all hotkey events
  (even if they are acpi events) are supposed to be mapped to input events
  by the kernel.

  However 
  ibm/hotkey HKEY 00000080 00005009
  ibm/hotkey HKEY 00000080 0000500a

  do not generate a keypress event. Which in a way may be sensible, since
  they are not actually keys, they are actually the events for changing
  the x61 tablet from laptop mode to tablet mode. However, current acpid
  refuses to handle those events in the current version of ubuntu, since
  the kernel should generate keyboard input events for this, but as stated
  above, it doesn't.

  Can anyone tell me what I can do to fix this? As it stands I don't have
  access to that event at all, since acpid doesn't handle it any more and
  no other event is generated yet, so I can't assign it in my desktop
  environment either.

  running latest karmic as of 2009-11-2, in thinkpad x61 tablet.
