[Bug 281284] Re: No function keys for sleep and hibernation in Kubuntu on Thinkpad

[Brian harkness]

Thinkpad T43

Although I should not HAVE to, I did add the two files (above link) to
get fn+F4 and fn+F12 to work:

/etc/acpi/events/ibm-sleepbtn
   event=ibm/hotkey HKEY 00000080 00001004
   action=/etc/acpi/sleep.sh force

/etc/acpi/events/ibm-hibernatebtn
   event=ibm/hotkey HKEY 00000080 00001004
   action=/etc/acpi/hibernate.sh

The former causes a hiccup where it sort of suspends, and comes right
back, which apparently causes something else to happen and then the unit
will suspend properly.  it comes out of suspend fine, although it is not
interfacing with powerdevil (kde's power managment) because it does not
prompt me for a password upon resume.

If I suspend the unit from the tray icon or using the logout dialog,
suspend works without the hiccup and it prompts me for a login password
on resume.

I generally have learned to use the tray icon or the logout dialogue,
just because the keys never worked in Ubuntu for me (apparently this
broke during/after Hardy)

These keys work in Arch, and oddly, knoppix 6.01 (modified debian lenny)
