CM vs FF buttons
I have an Inspiron 2600 laptop and the sleep button (Fn+Esc) doesn't seem to trigger an ACPI event. It works in Windows, so I tried recompiling my DSDT. But that didn't help. Checking out my dmesg output, I see this. I read some mention of FF vs CM on the gentoo forums post about fixing your DSDT. They mention a kernel patch to ignore FF buttons so they might be redetected as CM, but my sleep button is already CM. Is there a way to see it as FF?

anybody have any input on this? It'd be really nice to get the sleep button working
