Hi,
I'm trying to make my Lenovo Micmute button functions on arch linux, I've done this already on Ubuntu 12.04 (with acpid), but ,

On arch linux , acpi_listen has no output when I press the micmute key , while Ubuntu does , which is:

*ibm/hotkey HKEY 00000080 0000101b*

xev has no output on neither Arch or Ubuntu 12.04

I really don't know where to start .. needs solutions .. thanks

P.S: other information:

# /usr/lib/udev/keymap -i /dev/input/by-path/platform-thinkpad_acpi-event Press ESC to finish, or Control-C if this device is not your primary keyboard
scan code: 0x1A key code: micmute

Just not sure how to map it .. there's also definitions of micmute in /usr/lib/udev/keymaps/module-lenovo

And I tried:

# /usr/lib/udev/keymap /dev/input/by-path/platform-thinkpad_acpi-event 0x01a micmute
setting scancode 0x1A to key code 248

And no changes here
