[Bug 408903] Re: Does not handle microphone mute button (KEY_MICMUTE)

[rooobertek]

QuickFix, I think it may handle some thinkpad-specific package.

1. create and edit file  /etc/acpi/events/lenovo-micmute
2. write this into:
    event=ibm/hotkey HKEY 00000080 0000101b
    action=amixer set Capture toggle
3. execute as root:
    killall -HUP acpid

After I wrote code above, I have found this:
http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/How_to_configure_acpid#Make_the_Microphone_Mute_button_work
There is it made more pretty

Bug description:
  Ubuntu 9.04

  Pressing the new microphone mute button does not do anything.  It
  should toggle the mute on the current capture device and toggle an led
  that is part of the button.

  acpi_listen output:

  ibm/hotkey HKEY 00000080 0000101b
