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 condition_details=bluetooth 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.
