Comment 86 for bug 217504

In Jaunty (4 March 2009), xev can now see the ThinkVantage keypress on my ThinkPad X61 and the ThinkVantage key can be assigned as a keyboard shortcut in GNOME.

However, the Zoom key (i.e., Fn-Space) is still not seen by xev.

acpi_listen can see both ThinkVantage and Zoom:

 $ acpi_listen
 ibm/hotkey HKEY 00000080 00001018
 ibm/hotkey HKEY 00000080 00001014

xev sees the ThinkVantage key this way:

 KeyPress event, serial 35, synthetic NO, window 0x4400001,
    root 0x91, subw 0x0, time 3068137, (74,831), root:(1406,883),
    state 0x10, keycode 156 (keysym 0x1008ff41, XF86Launch1), same_screen YES,
    XLookupString gives 0 bytes:
    XmbLookupString gives 0 bytes:
    XFilterEvent returns: False

 KeyRelease event, serial 35, synthetic NO, window 0x4400001,
    root 0x91, subw 0x0, time 3068137, (74,831), root:(1406,883),
    state 0x10, keycode 156 (keysym 0x1008ff41, XF86Launch1), same_screen YES,
    XLookupString gives 0 bytes:
    XFilterEvent returns: False
