Enabling hardware buttons via EC file

Open soumyaDghosh opened this issue 2 years ago • 5 comments

There are hardware buttons in my keyboard for touchpad disabling, airplane mode etc. Can those be enabled via ec files?

Do you mean those buttons don't work or do you want to toggle your touchpad and airplane mode by writing into EC?

If buttons don't work then they may have their scancodes unmapped (see this bug report and this PR in systemd for E16 Flip). I don't think EC can disable (or enable) those buttons.

If you want to manually toggle touchpad and airplane mode then EC isn't responsible for this either.
