+In a ThinkPad, the ACPI HKEY handler is responsible for comunicating
+some important events and also keyboard hot key presses to the operating
+system. Enabling the hotkey functionality of thinkpad-acpi signals the
+firmware that such a driver is present, and modifies how the ThinkPad
+firmware will behave in many situations.
+
+When the hotkey feature is enabled and the hot key mask is set (see
+below), the various hot keys either generate ACPI events in the
following format:
ibm/hotkey HKEY 00000080 0000xxxx
-The last four digits vary depending on the key combination pressed.
-All labeled Fn-Fx key combinations generate distinct events. In
-addition, the lid microswitch and some docking station buttons may
-also generate such events.
-
-Hot keys also generate regular keyboard key press/release events through
-the input layer in addition to the ibm/hotkey ACPI events. The input
-layer support accepts the standard IOCTLs to remap the keycodes assigned
-to each hotkey.
+or events over the input layer. The input layer support accepts the
+standard IOCTLs to remap the keycodes assigned to each hotkey.
When the input device is open, the driver will suppress any ACPI hot key
events that get translated into a meaningful input layer event, in order
to avoid sending duplicate events to userspace. Hot keys that are
-mapped to KEY_RESERVED are not translated, and will always generate only
-ACPI hot key event, and no input layer events.
-
-The bit mask allows some control over which hot keys generate ACPI
-events. Not all bits in the mask can be modified. Not all bits that can
-be modified do anything. Not all hot keys can be individually controlled
-by the mask. Some models do not support the mask at all. On those
-models, hot keys cannot be controlled individually.
-
-Note that enabling ACPI events for some keys prevents their default
-behavior. For example, if events for Fn-F5 are enabled, that key will no
-longer enable/disable Bluetooth by itself. This can still be done from
-an acpid handler for the ibm/hotkey event.
-
-On some models, even enabling/disabling the entire hot key feature may
-change the way some keys behave (e.g. in a T43, Fn+F4 will generate an
-button/sleep ACPI event if hot keys are disabled, and it will ignore its
-mask when hot keys are enabled, so the key always does something. On a
-X40, Fn+F4 respects its mask status, but generates the button/sleep ACPI
-event if masked off).
-
-Note also that not all Fn key combinations are supported through
-ACPI. For example, on the X40, the brightness, volume and "Access IBM"
-buttons do not generate ACPI events even with this driver. They *can*
-be used through the "ThinkPad Buttons" utility, see

+generate an ACPI ibm/hotkey HKEY event, and no input layer events.
+
+The hot key bit mask allows some control over which hot keys generate
+events. If a key is "masked" (bit set to 0 in the mask), the firmware
+will handle it. If it is "unmasked", it signals the firmware that
+thinkpad-acpi would prefer to handle it, if the firmware would be so
+kind to allow it (and it often doesn't!).
+
+Not all bits in the mask can be modified. Not all bits that can be
+modified do anything. Not all hot keys can be individually controlled
+by the mask. Some models do not support the mask at all, and in those
+models, hot keys cannot be controlled individually. The behaviour of
+the mask is, therefore, higly dependent on the ThinkPad model.
+
+Note that unmasking some keys prevents their default behavior. For
+example, if Fn+F5 is unmasked, that key will no longer enable/disable
+Bluetooth by itself.
