[Solved] XF86 keys not recognized under ThinkBook 14 G6+ AHP

YjzJim · 2024-07-20 17:41:19

My laptop:
OS: Arch Linux x86_64
Host: 21LF (ThinkBook 14 G6+ AHP)
Kernel: Linux 6.9.10-lqx1-1-lqx
Uptime: 12 mins
Packages: 1239 (pacman)
Shell: zsh 5.9
Display (LEN8AAF): 3072x1920 @ 120Hz (as 2048x1280) [Built-in]
WM: Hyprland (Wayland)
CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 8845H w/ Radeon 780M Graphics (16) @ 5.14 GHz
GPU: AMD Phoenix3 [Integrated]

i suspect this device controls the keys:

libinput list-devices:

Device: Ideapad extra buttons
Kernel: /dev/input/event10
Group: 5
Seat: seat0, default
Capabilities: keyboard
Tap-to-click: n/a

[ 6.871] (II) event10 - Ideapad extra buttons: device is a keyboard

i am looking for a way to get the keys recognized, and i think activating this device may help, but i don't know how to do it.

Thanks

The hexadecimal keysyms are given here: https://cgit.freedesktop.org/xorg/proto … 86keysym.h

Do they work with Hyprland? I presume you have tried just using the names.

I have to bind the keys to brightnessctl(1) & amixer(1) to get them to work in sway (using both keysyms & names in this example):

# Volume keys
exec amixer set Speaker 100% unmute
bindsym XF86AudioRaiseVolume exec amixer set Master 5%+ unmute
bindsym XF86AudioLowerVolume exec amixer set Master 5%- unmute
bindsym XF86AudioMute exec amixer set Master toggle

# Backlight keys
bindsym 0x1008FF02 exec brightnessctl set 10%+
bindsym 0x1008FF03 exec brightnessctl set 10%-

Only the mute key produces an actual keycode under wev but the binds still work.

Your xorg log (snippet) is meaningless for a wayland context.
What do you mean "suspect"? If you run "libinput debug-events" where do those keys generate what events?

YjzJim · 2024-07-21 05:30:24

I checked again, now i basically have two problems.

One is an acpi interrupt /sys/firmware/acpi/interrupts/gpe0B

One is a kernel module ideapad_laptop

If I enable both, pressing f5 （without fn, referring to XF86MonBrightnessDown) causes the system to suddenly shutdown, with no message sent.
If I disable ideapad_laptop and enable the gpe0B interrupt, f5 and f6 special key (brightness ones) work, but I get no special keys on F4, F8, F9 and F10, and i don't have the battery conservation mode anymore.
If I enable ideapad_laptop and disable the gpe0B interrupt, the special keys sometimes work after some while after boot (this could be minutes or hours, no idea), and fails after reboot.

This is the behavior in the third case:

Those keys generate NO EVENTS AT ALL.

The brightness keys provides no keycode nor can be binded.

Generally I would hope that all the keys would work, and It very likely involves solving the problem in the first or third case. Alas, I now have no idea how to solve either of them.

Do they in "evtest"? (but you'll have to select the device)

Is there a parallel windows installation?

If the keys "do something" but show up neither in evtest nor acpi_listen, they might not get exposed to the OS at all but are handled by the firmware.

Yes

acpi_listen also shows nothing

Have you disabled "fast start" in Windows? See the link in seth's signature for instructions.

i have already

seth · 2024-07-21 13:56:58

When?
Make sure it still is disabled (cause windows occasionally re-enables it with updates)
If the answer is "just now", make sure to reboot windows and linux 2-3 times for voodoo reasons.

And, standard warning: it's not "fast boot" in your bios/uefi settings

If no device generates and events in evtest, you're borderline screwed.
What is the *exact* model?
https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Laptop/Lenovo#T_series
From a comment there, try to lie to the firmware:

acpi_osi=! acpi_osi="Windows 2015"

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windo … inacpi-osi

Edit: also please use [code][/code] tags. Edit your post in this regard.

I am screwed so it seems.

The exact model is ThinkBook 14 G6+ AHP.

This model does not exist yet in the https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Laptop/Lenovo#T_series, It came out in 2024.

Would you like me to fill out information in the wiki?

It seems ideapad-laptop-tb2024g6plus with the amd-fn-fix branch is the best we can go with now.. which make fn keys behave like blacklisting ideapad_laptop while ideapad_laptop is still available (so that you can toggle conservation mode and change platform profile in system), and which also fixes the close-lid behavior

This fixed almost everything, it works well with the gpe0B system interrupt enabled, though the xf86audiomicmute is not recognized.
That helped a lot!
