Comment 17 for bug 384890

Richard,

I had a look at this problem. It seems that the kernel side is alright, I get KEY_POWER input events:

$ sudo input-events 1
/dev/input/event1
   bustype : BUS_HOST
   vendor : 0x0
   product : 0x1
   version : 0
   name : "Power Button"
   phys : "PNP0C0C/button/input0"
   bits ev : EV_SYN EV_KEY

waiting for events
11:17:05.881107: EV_KEY KEY_POWER (0x74) pressed

However, they never make it through X.org, with xev I don't get XF86XK_PowerOff. g-p-m doesn't directly listen to input events, just to X.org key presses. So am I right in assuming that we need to fix the xorg driver to propagate KEY_POWER -> XF86XK_PowerOff, or is it meant to work in a different way?

Thank you!
