Hi all,
my panasonic cf-51 does no longer react to the suspend and hibernate
keys. I cannot tell when this started since I no longer use the machine
on a daily basis, but I suspect it started when userspace switched from
using /proc/acpi/event to the input layer, wich was quite some time ago ;-)
Today I investigated the issue and found that the firmware simply does
not generate any event on "key down" for those keys, but only on "key up".
The attached patch works around the problem.
Best regards,
Stefan

Subject: [PATCH] panasonic-laptop: fix sleep keys on CF-51
At least on my CF-51, both sleep and hibernate keys do not
generate "key down" events, only "key up". Because of this,
the input layer does ignore both keys. The work around is
to generate a key down event before the key up. To avoid
double events on non-broken firmware, this is only done if
no key down is ever seen for those keys.
