ACPI is not controlling > your keyboard. The BIOS just decides whether or not to send ACPI hotkey > events (different from keystrokes) or consume them itself via SMI. so, the act of loading acpi.ko implements a callback for the bios that informs it that an acpi cognizant os is available? it seems to me that i would like to tell it to not use acpi and stick with smi because if i dont load acpi the buttons work almost perfectly. the only bit of grief i have is that without acpi, the powerbutton shuts off hard instead of performing a shutdown > For some reason, the notify isn't getting delivered to ACPI along > the way. some do, some dont, suspend get's responded to, power button get's responded to. what commands do i use to break on buttons in acpidb? > Upgrade your BIOS?
