I am remapping Fn+F5 on my Thinkpad to '0x04:bluetooth' to have it toggle
BlueTooth on and off instead of the wlan, which I always need on.  The
'ThinkPad Extra Buttons' input device with keymap data looks like this:

bjorn at nemi:~$ lshal -u /org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/computer_logicaldev_input_4
udi = '/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/computer_logicaldev_input_4'
  button.has_state = true  (bool)
  button.state.value = true  (bool)
  button.type = 'radio'  (string)
  info.addons.singleton = {'hald-addon-input'} (string list)
  info.callouts.add = {'debian-setup-keyboard'} (string list)
  info.capabilities = {'input', 'input.keys', 'input.switch', 'button', 'input.keymap'} (string list)
  info.category = 'input'  (string)
  info.parent = '/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/computer'  (string)
  info.product = 'ThinkPad Extra Buttons'  (string)
  info.subsystem = 'input'  (string)
  info.udi = '/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/computer_logicaldev_input_4'  (string)
  input.device = '/dev/input/event6'  (string)
  input.keymap.data = {'0x01:screenlock', '0x02:battery', '0x03:sleep', '0x06:switchvideomode', '0x07:f22', '0x08:f24', '0x0b:suspend', '0x0f:brightnessup', '0x10:brightnessdown', '0x11:kbdillumtoggle', '0x13:zoom', '0x14:volumeup', '0x15:volumedown', '0x16:mute', '0x17:prog1', '0x04:bluetooth'} (string list)
  input.product = 'ThinkPad Extra Buttons'  (string)
  input.x11_driver = 'evdev'  (string)
  input.xkb.layout = 'no'  (string)
  input.xkb.model = 'pc105'  (string)
  input.xkb.options = 'lv3:ralt_switch,compose:menu'  (string)
  linux.device_file = '/dev/input/event6'  (string)
  linux.hotplug_type = 2  (0x2)  (int)
  linux.subsystem = 'input'  (string)
  linux.sysfs_path = '/sys/devices/virtual/input/input6/event6'  (string)


This stopped working after upgrading to hal 0.5.13-4.  No matter what I set the 
keymap to, Fn+F5 will always generate KEY_WLAN:

nemi:/tmp# input-events 6
/dev/input/event6
   bustype : BUS_HOST
   vendor  : 0x17aa
   product : 0x5054
   version : 16641
   name    : "ThinkPad Extra Buttons"
   phys    : "thinkpad_acpi/input0"
   bits ev : EV_SYN EV_KEY EV_MSC EV_SW

waiting for events
09:15:38.438055: EV_KEY KEY_WLAN pressed
09:15:38.438077: EV_SYN code=0 value=0
09:15:38.438083: EV_KEY KEY_WLAN released
09:15:38.438088: EV_SYN code=0 value=0


I have also tried other values than KEY_BLUETOOTH, just to ensure that it 
isn't just some magic related to that value. No difference.


Downgrading to hal 0.5.13-3 fixes the problem, so this is a regression between
those two versions.

And just to make it clear:  I do not want to run hal from unstable.  This 
is a choice forced upon me by an x-server dependency.  And the unstable
x-server is unfortunately necessary to support the GM45 IGP in this 
laptop.

So downgrading hal to the stable version or removing hal is not possible.
