Input/ACPI layer glitches switching from 2.6.7 to 2.6.9?

[Romano Giannetti]

Hi all, 

   I have a couple of little problems switching from 2.6.7 to 2.6.9 with
   respect to the input layer. I have a Sony Vaio FX701 which worked like a
   charm on 2.6.7. Having an ALPS touchpad, both kernel where patched with
   the corresponding patch from Peter Österlund (available at
   http://web.telia.com/~u89404340/touchpad/index.html ). 

   The first "problem" is maybe related to this. Switching from 2.6.7 to
   2.6.9, enumeration of devices by EVDEV input module changed (touchpad was
   event0 in 2.6.7, changed to event1 in 2.6.9) which make necessary a
   switch of X config... 

   The second is more important. Someway, the detection by the acpid daemon
   of "Fn+F12" (suspend to disk key) has turned flaky. I mean, I need to try
   several times before the system recognize the key: I have to press it
   in a specific sequence (first Fn down, than F12 down, than Fn up, then
   F12 up) and yet only sometimes it is recognized. 

   I understand there is not much data here; but before spamming the list
   with hundreds of unuseful logs, I would like to have some hint about
   which kind of data is needed. 

   Thank you very much, have a nice day,

                                        Romano
