[Debian-eeepc-devel] FN-F3 and FN-F7 [on a 1005PE] dont work correctly

[stubb]

Hey folks,

first a big thanks for ur great work, my EEEPC 1005 PE works very fine 
with Debian sid :)

My system/configuration:
- 1005PE
- Bios: 1202
- Kernel: 2.6.32-3-686 #1 SMP Thu Feb 25 06:14:20 UTC 2010 i686 GNU/Linux
- grub: no boot options ! with bios 1202 the modul eeepc_latop is loaded 
out of the box
- iam using the git version of the eeepc_acpi_script

Now my small problem:

After upgrade to Bios 1202 FN-F3 and FN-F7 worked fine, like everything 
else, but after some days they didnt do any event ...
Now i could solve the problem with apt-get purge the old 
eeepc_acpi_script and install the version of git, but iam not really 
sure if this is really the solution ... cause now it works, but i dont 
know how long ...

SynrG from #debian-eeepc helped me to search the reason of the problem, 
here are these things we found out:

lsmod | grep eee
eeepc_laptop            9355  0
rfkill                 10260  2 cfg80211,eeepc_laptop
pci_hotplug            18065  1 eeepc_laptop

acpi_listen showed the right keys and /etc/default/eeepc-acpi-scripts 
had the right keybindings

After adding "set -x" into functions.sh and press FN-F3 i got (before i 
installed the git version and purged the earlier one) this:

acpid -d
+ acpid -d

SynrG's thoughts about that:
14:24    SynrG    what i'm thinking is that somehow that .acpi-ignore 
file gets written with a value that isn't overwritten again by a 'good' 
value ... 14:24    SynrG    and purge/reinstall just removed the file
14:24    SynrG    so
14:24    SynrG    problem gone (for now)

Hope its helpfull to get an idea what could be the problem...

Thanks,
