[Pkg-acpi-devel] Bug#574848: Bug#574848: acpid fails to notice button reload

  Are you still having trouble with this?

  If so, here's an idea.  Try killing acpid

    sudo killall acpid

then running it in debug mode at the console.

    sudo /usr/sbin/acpid -d

  Now suspend and resume.  In debug mode, acpid should print a bunch of 
informational messages that might be of some help in tracking down why 
it is getting confused.  Post the output here and perhaps there will be 
something in there that might lead to a solution.

  I was able to stop and restart the button module and observe the 
correct behavior from acpid.  It looks like this:

  sudo /sbin/rmmod button

acpid: input device has been disconnected
acpid: input device has been disconnected
acpid: input device has been disconnected

  sudo /sbin/modprobe button

inotify read bytes: 32
inotify name len: 16
inotify about to open: /dev/input/event4
input layer /dev/input/event4 opened successfully
inotify read bytes: 32
inotify name len: 16
inotify about to open: /dev/input/event3
input layer /dev/input/event3 opened successfully
inotify read bytes: 32
inotify name len: 16
inotify about to open: /dev/input/event2
input layer /dev/input/event2 opened successfully

  So, it appears to work for me.

Ted.
