Ubuntu is able to detect my Lenovo "Mic Mute" button with acpi_listen, but when I try it on Arch Linux, there is no output available.

Model: Thinkpad X220 4290LY9

Tried to add acpi_osi=Linux in kernel cmdline, but mic mute still has no output from acpi_listen.

After adding acpi_osi option, the led of my output mute button, no longer toggles, but it still functions.

Apart from comparing their dmesg output, adding acpi_osi="Linux" to the Kernel command line could help (Does it?) – sr_ May 15 '12 at 13:27
@sr_ tried , no luck – warl0ck May 15 '12 at 13:36
See if xev can detect it. You can use amixer to mute, though that might not be what you want. – htor May 15 '12 at 14:08
@hesse , no either – warl0ck May 15 '12 at 14:43
