i'm using an asus m6n notebook. for one month now i'm trying to get the multimedia buttons work. i use the acpi4asus module which is included into the kernel, telling me in the kernel log that my notebook is succesfully detected. i also use the acpid module which is also started from boot. on a m6n specific forum i found some event/action scripts which shall be copied into the /etc/acpi/ directory, i followed all instructions but the buttons still don't work. if i try to access the buttons or leds through /proc/acpi/....
the konsole tells me that proc is busy.

any solution?

thanks

I would say to go to the tuxmobil site and search there.
They have lot's of install specific details for all kinds of laptops.

This is what proc says when I try to access a button meanwhile the acpid daemon is running:

Code:

dtg666 dtg666 # cat /proc/acpi/event
cat: /proc/acpi/event: Device or resource busy


When I disable the acpid daemon I can see the buttons are recognized by the system by pressing them each one time:

Code:

dtg666 dtg666 # cat /proc/acpi/event
hotkey ATKD 00000050 00000008
hotkey ATKD 00000051 00000004
hotkey ATKD 0000005d 00000000
hotkey ATKD 0000006a 00000000
hotkey ATKD 0000005c 00000000
hotkey ATKD 00000040 00000000
hotkey ATKD 00000043 00000000
hotkey ATKD 00000045 00000000
hotkey ATKD 00000041 00000000
hotkey ATKD 0000004c 00000000


does this perhaps mean the buttons are only recognized if acpid is down although acpid is needed to get the bash scripts running?
