Dear Mr. Preining,

It is really strange...

This appears in syslog when I press Fn+F6:
Sep 17 18:48:41 [acpid] received input layer event "button/fnf6 FNF6 
00000080 00000000"_
Sep 17 18:48:41 [acpid] rule from /etc/acpi/events/default matched_
Sep 17 18:48:41 [acpid] executing action "/etc/acpi/default.sh 
button/fnf6 FNF6 00000080 00000000"_
Sep 17 18:48:41 [kernel] [30248.964759] sony-laptop: sony_nc_notify, 
event: 0x11
Sep 17 18:48:41 [kernel] [30248.964764] sony-laptop: 
acpi_bus_generate_proc_event({sony/hotkey,SNC}, 1, 11);
Sep 17 18:48:41 [acpid] action exited with status 1_
Sep 17 18:48:41 [acpid] 1 total rule matched_
Sep 17 18:48:41 [acpid] completed input layer event "button/fnf6 FNF6 
00000080 00000000"_
Sep 17 18:48:41 [kernel] [30249.031244] sony-laptop: sony_nc_notify, 
event: 0x3b
Sep 17 18:48:41 [kernel] [30249.031249] sony-laptop: 
acpi_bus_generate_proc_event({sony/hotkey,SNC}, 1, 3b);


/1st/:
And if I "rmmod sony_laptop" and press again, I see NOTHING - so the 
"button/fnf6" acpi event lines seem to be related to the "sony-laptop" 
module!?


/2nd/:
The second "sony-laptop: acpi_bus_generate_proc_event(..." line comes 
from my modifications (e.g. to make sure the right module is loaded ;).

There I print the:
	->pnp.device_class	== "sony/hotkey"
and the:
	->pnp.bus_id		== "SNC"
So the function acpi_bus_generate_proc_event4 from 
/usr/src/linux/drivers/acpi/bus.c gets called... but seemingly my acpid 
never receives any "sony/hotkey" events. Why could this be?


Please let me know if you need anything else.

Thanks a lot!

Knuth
