| Do you have acpid and acpi-support installed?
yes.

| /var/log/acpid?
no. nothing.

| When I press Fn+F4 on my Thinkpad I see
On my TravelMate it's Fn+Esc

|   received event "ibm/hotkey HKEY 00000080 00001004"

| /etc/acpi/events/ibm-sleepbtn recognizes this key and tells acpid to run
| /etc/acpi/sleep.sh.
all right. so this is how it is supposed to work. thank you for the
explanation.

no. I don't see the entry in /var/log/acpid. can this key be configured
to be recognized by acpid?


| What sort of laptop do you have?
It's an Acer TravelMate 4050.

yes, I see the keycode with xev. it's 223. I tryed to map it with the
keybindings_commands, but this does'nt work either (but this is probably
a different issue).

that would be nice :)
