[clue-tech] help with: "fifo: Permission denied" when using acpi_fakekey as non-root

[Mike Jensen]

Been lurking around for a while, but never posted before.  Sorry to have 
my first post be a help request.

I am trying to get the volume up/down/mute key to work on my Lenovo 
T400.  The distro is Debian Squeeze, fully updated, amd64.  My volume 
keys don't seem to work, so I traced down /etc/acpi/volupbtn.sh (and 
others), and noticed that it was using acpi_fakekey....when I run it as 
such in root, there is no problems, it returns fine.  But when I run the 
same thing as a normal user I get: fifo: Permission denied

Let me know if there is any more information I can provide.  I have 
searched around but have not seen this percise problem before.  Thanks 
in advanced.
