Thank's for your information, I will look at it.

Finally,
I borrow a Acer Aspire one ZG8 from Gary, it can reproduce your
situation.

The BAD thing is you are right, 
I CAN REPRODUCE rfkill-input didn't receive any input, it not make sense
because rfkill-input registered input handler.

The BT HW key still works because acer-wmi have polling to sync the
state with EC and killswitch, and EC also take care the BT device power
off job.

But, I also found SOMETIMES after system reboot, rfkill-input can
capture the key event.
We need find out why input handle didn't receive KEY_* event.


Hi, Dmitry 

Appreciate if you can give us any good suggestions!
Why keyboard emit KEY_BLUETOOTH, but rfkill-input, registered input
handler, can't capture it?

*** 06:32:42.972: lshal: device_condition,
udi=/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/platform_i8042_i8042_KBD_port_logicaldev_input
           condition_name=ButtonPressed

But, SOMETIMES after reboot system, rfkill-input can capture the key.
We are working on 2.6.38 kernel, and Acer notebook.
Hi Joey,

If you look in /proc/bus/input/devices do you see rfkill-input as
actually bound to the device that has KEY_BLUETOOTH?
Like you said, we fell into the trap:

Fail case:

linux-uy92:/proc/bus/input # vi devices

I: Bus=0011 Vendor=0001 Product=0001 Version=ab41
N: Name="AT Translated Set 2 keyboard"
P: Phys=isa0060/serio0/input0
S: Sysfs=/devices/platform/i8042/serio0/input/input0
U: Uniq=
H: Handlers=sysrq kbd event0
B: PROP=0
B: EV=120013
B: KEY=10000 c0200 0 0 0 0 0 700f 2000003 3803078 f830f401 febfffdf ffefffff ffffffff fffffffe
B: MSC=10
B: LED=7


Success case:

linux-uy92:/proc/bus/input # vi devices 

I: Bus=0011 Vendor=0001 Product=0001 Version=ab41
N: Name="AT Translated Set 2 keyboard"
P: Phys=isa0060/serio0/input0
S: Sysfs=/devices/platform/i8042/serio0/input/input0
U: Uniq=
H: Handlers=sysrq kbd event0 rfkill
B: PROP=0
B: EV=120013
B: KEY=10000 c0200 0 0 0 0 0 700f 2000003 3803078 f830f401 febfffdf ffefffff ffffffff fffffffe
B: MSC=10
B: LED=7


In fail case, rfkill didn't register to keyboard's Handlers. And, I also
checked the rfkill-input's .connect didn't call by input when system
boot:

Fail case:

[    7.144252] rfkill: rfkill_handler_init
[    7.144277] rfkill: rfkill_handler_init, start input_register_handler


Success case:

[    7.580683] rfkill: rfkill_handler_init
[    7.580714] rfkill: rfkill_handler_init, start input_register_handler
[    7.580737] rfkill: doing input_register_handle
Since it is atkbd that is emitting KEY_BLUETOOTH and this key is not in
the default keymap I think you must be loading Acer-specific keymap via
udev or some other mechanism, and I guess stumbling upon a deficiency in
input layer: we do not re-match devices after changing keymap. So if
rfkill-input was loaded before keymap was altered, then it will not bind
to the keyboard even if you add KE_BLUETOOTH at a later time. Fixing
this is something that was on my TODO list for a while now...

Thaks.
Yes,
this a race condition for rfkill-input register before udev set
Acer-specific keymap. 

We didn't find it just because old acer-wmi driver hide the BIOS default
devices states and always set bluetooth state to enabled when system
boot.


Thank's
Joey Lee
