[Pkg-utopia-maintainers] Bug#529791: hal doesn't correctly report hibernate button for thinkpad-acpi

[Yves-Alexis Perez]

Package: hal
Version: 0.5.12~git20090406.46dc48-2
Severity: normal

Hi,

I have a problem with hal not reporting my hibernate button (from
thinkpad-acpi):

lshal|grep button.type
  button.type = 'radio'  (string)
  button.type = 'lid'  (string)
  button.type = 'sleep'  (string)
  button.type = 'power'  (string)

the “sleep” button comes from:

udi = '/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/computer_logicaldev_input_1'
  button.has_state = false  (bool)
  button.type = 'sleep'  (string)
  info.addons.singleton = {'hald-addon-input'} (string list)
  info.capabilities = {'input', 'button'} (string list)
  info.category = 'input'  (string)
  info.parent = '/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/computer'  (string)
  info.product = 'Sleep Button (CM)'  (string)
  info.subsystem = 'input'  (string)
  info.udi = '/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/computer_logicaldev_input_1' (string)
  input.device = '/dev/input/event4'  (string)
  input.product = 'Sleep Button (CM)'  (string)
  linux.device_file = '/dev/input/event4'  (string)
  linux.hotplug_type = 2  (0x2)  (int)
  linux.subsystem = 'input'  (string)
  linux.sysfs_path = '/sys/devices/LNXSYSTM:00/device:00/PNP0C0E:00/input/input4/event4' (string)

(i'm not really sure where does it come from, but I indeed have an input
events called Sleep Button)

The thinkpad-acpi buttons are reported differently:

udi = '/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/computer_logicaldev_input_4'
  button.has_state = true  (bool)
  button.state.value = true  (bool)
  button.type = 'radio'  (string)
  info.addons.singleton = {'hald-addon-input'} (string list)
  info.callouts.add = {'hal-setup-keymap', 'debian-setup-keyboard'} (string list)
  info.capabilities = {'input', 'input.keys', 'input.switch', 'button', 'input.keymap'} (string list)
  info.category = 'input'  (string)
  info.parent = '/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/computer'  (string)
  info.product = 'ThinkPad Extra Buttons'  (string)
  info.subsystem = 'input'  (string)
  info.udi = '/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/computer_logicaldev_input_4' (string)
  input.device = '/dev/input/event6'  (string)
  input.keymap.data = {'0x01:screenlock', '0x02:battery', '0x03:sleep',
'0x04:radio', '0x06:switchvideomode', '0x07:f22', '0x08:f24',
'0x0b:suspend', '0x0f:brightnessup', '0x10:brightnessdown',
'0x11:kbdillumtoggle', '0x13:zoom', '0x14:volumeup', '0x15:volumedown',
'0x16:mute', '0x17:prog1', '0x04:bluetooth', '0x05:wlan'} (string list)
  input.product = 'ThinkPad Extra Buttons'  (string)
  input.x11_driver = 'evdev'  (string)
  input.xkb.layout = 'us'  (string)
  input.xkb.model = 'thinkpad60'  (string)
  input.xkb.options = 'lv3:ralt_switch'  (string)
  input.xkb.rules = 'base'  (string)
  input.xkb.variant = 'altgr-intl'  (string)
  linux.device_file = '/dev/input/event6'  (string)
  linux.hotplug_type = 2  (0x2)  (int)
  linux.subsystem = 'input'  (string)
  linux.sysfs_path = '/sys/devices/virtual/input/input6/event6'  (string)


Although there are “radio”, “sleep”, ”suspend” buttons, only
button.type=radio is reported.

That means programs (like xfce4-power-manager) trying to detect if there is
an hibernate button think there is none.

Not sure how I could change that, if it's a config or code issue.

If you need more info, please ask.

Cheers,
