Bug Description
Power4Gear hotkey (in windows) toggles varioius power savings modes, depending on whether the laptop is using battery ar AC power. There are seven such modes: super performance, high performance, game performance, DVD movie performance, email/office performance, presentation performance, audio listening peformance, battery saving performance.
I do not actually expect all of these things to work in ubuntu yet ;-)
The required information is:
showkey provides 0Xe0 0X12 )Xe0 0X92
the key's magic number is 0X92
tail -f /var/log/acpid provides the following:
bruce@inana:~$ sudo tail -f /var/log/acpid
