thanks a lot that will certainly help

so this is the output for the fn+f2/3 “[32752.594169] atkbd serio0: Use 'setkeycodes e02b ’ to make it known. [32752.599005] atkbd serio0: Unknown key released (translated set 2, code 0xab on isa0060/serio0).”

and the output for the closing lid “[32780.534749] atkbd serio0: Use 'setkeycodes e058 ’ to make it known. [32780.538013] atkbd serio0: Unknown key released (translated set 2, code 0xd8 on isa0060/serio0).”

my question is isn’t closing the lid is already assigned to “button/wlan WLAN 00000080 00000000 K” (output from acpi_listen)

• so what should I do now
• this part is actually unclear

“You can find the appropriate evdev:* information by running sudo udevadm test /dev/input/eventX where eventX is the evdev fd for the device in question. evtest will show you the names.”

basically how to actually do something like this MSC_KEY_d7=lid MSC_KEY_ab=brightness_thingies

• yeah thanks

thanks for the idea it actually got me to find something so I am going to use “acpi_listen” I guess its a deamon for acpi the funny thing is closing the lid counts as “button/wlan WLAN 00000080 00000000 K” so I am positive linux or the kernel thinks that closing the lid is pressing the wiki toggle button (that’s the current behaviour btw) so I guess the next step is to just find out how can I make the kernel think that closing the lid is actually closing the lid lol

anyway thanks for the help stranger
