[Pkg-acpi-devel] Bug#577603:

[Luca Niccoli]

reassign 577603 acpi-fakekey 0.136-3
thank you

I guess now that acpi_fakekey has its own package, this report should
be assigned to it;
but I mainly wanted to say that I'm hitting this bug as well, on two
different machines (both sid).
If I'm in the console, and run acpi_fakekey 5, a 4 gets actually
printed on the screen.
But if I try from an X terminal, or run sleep 5 && acpi_fakekey 5 (and
then immediately switch to X and wait), there are no effects
whatsoever.
After some tries, the event queue gets full and I start seeing
ACPI Virtual Keyboard Device: dropping event due to full queue!
in Xorg log; this never happens if I use acpi_fakekey while using the console.
Trying acpi_fakekey 113 (MUTE) doesn't actually mute the volume
regardless of the context (while using the physical mute key does).
Cheers,

Luca
