The EC firmware has at least two tables that control the Fn+key combinations.
|
|
There is some evidence that there is a third table, but the table itself has
|
|
not been found.
|
|
|
|
Simple Key Replacements table:
|
|
------------------------------
|
|
|
|
This table is a simple array of key replacement entries - if Fn is held
|
|
down at the same time as the keycode from the first byte, then the
|
|
keycode from the second byte is substituted (with possible modifier
|
|
keys from the third byte)
|
|
|
|
The table is big enough to hold 11 key replacements, and in the standard
|
|
firmware all but one of these are already used.
|
|
|
|
This structure of this table was identical in both the x220 and x230
|
|
firmware, just the contents differed. The classic keyboard patch simply
|
|
patched the exact values from the x220 firmware into place.
|
|
|
|
; this three byte entry is repeated as needed
|
|
db ORIG_key
|
|
db NEW_key
|
|
db modifiers ; only 0x01 for Alt_L and 0x02 for Ctrl_L were seen
|
|
|
|
(source: x220 EC firmware version 8DHT34WW, offset 0x1f05e)
|
|
(source: x230 EC firmware version G2HT35WW, offset 0x21898)
|
|
|
|
The address of this table and the number of entries contained in it are
|
|
located in a pointer object.
|
|
|
|
; x220 simple replacement table ptr
|
|
org 0x1f058
|
|
dw 11 ; number of entries
|
|
dd 0x1f05e ; address of simple replacement table
|
|
|
|
(source: x220 EC firmware version 8DHT34WW, offset 0x1f058)
|
|
|
|
; x230 simple replacement table ptr
|
|
org 0x218d0
|
|
dd 11 ; number of entries
|
|
dd 0x21898 ; address of simple replacement table
|
|
|
|
(source: x230 EC firmware version G2HT35WW, offset 0x218d0)
|
|
|
|
|
|
Complex Key Handling Table:
|
|
---------------------------
|
|
|
|
I call this table complex only because it appears to call special handler
|
|
functions for the key replacements. The actual difference is probably
|
|
that the "simple" replacements are still generating normal key-presses and
|
|
this "complex" table is generating ACPI events.
|
|
|
|
The size of this table is big enough for 27 keys to be described and in the
|
|
standard x230 firmware, there are 14 entries that are clearly used and three
|
|
entries that may be used for something.
|
|
|
|
; this two byte entry is repeated as needed
|
|
db magic_code
|
|
db key
|
|
|
|
(source: x220 EC firmware version 8DHT34WW, offset 0x1ee36)
|
|
(source: x230 EC firmware version G2HT35WW, offset 0x2166c)
|
|
|
|
The magic_code appears to specify which handler to call and the key is the
|
|
key pressed to match this entry.
|
|
|
|
The following magic_codes have been seen in the firmware tables. Due to the
|
|
risk of bricking the laptop, no experimentation on what other codes do has
|
|
been done.
|
|
|
|
x220 x230 Action
|
|
---- ---- ------
|
|
0x03 0xc0 Function handled by OS, sends a modified keypress
|
|
0x3b 0xc7 Sleep
|
|
0x27 0xe4 Brightness+
|
|
0x2f 0xe5 Brightness-
|
|
0x43 na Hibernate
|
|
0x33 0xc6 ThinkLight
|
|
|
|
Similar to the previous table, the address of this table and the number of
|
|
entries is located in a pointer object:
|
|
|
|
org 0x216a4
|
|
dd 8 ; number of entries in the jump table
|
|
dd 0x2164c ; pointer to a list of function pointers
|
|
dd 0x1b ; number of entries in the complex replacement table
|
|
dd 0x2166c ; pointer to the complex replacement table.
|
|
|
|
Since this pointer object also contains a pointer to a jump table, I have
|
|
assumed that the various codes in the replacement table end up indicating
|
|
the specific function used to handle that keypress.
