    Hey, I have an X61 Tablet and after the computer is up and running I can't seem to make the power button trigger any functions. I usually set it to "Ask me what to do" and then just choose to restart/hibernate. Does anyone know what the problem is? (it is set that way, but it does nothing!)

    But it does turn on and hard power-off the computer?

    It definitely turns on the computer... I've never tried a hard power off (just got this laptop yesterday)
    I never really do a hard power off unless I really have to...

    [Edit]
    It must be a setting of some sort... This tablet actually has two power off buttons (one on the screen which I set to locked because I'll probably never use it). Both of which don't do what I want them to do :|
