Can't get power button to work

Should this be working in Ubuntu or am I doing something wrong? I think I'm going to try and Andriod image to see if the power button is actually work properly.

As Mark indicated, it does work... the trick is to to select the right device. 

You can see in the code box below the output from running evtest on a ubuntu box, and selecting axp81x-supplyer, which was device event number 1 in that case. Credit goes to xalius for posting it in that thread I linked earlier about the power button. The button was pressed twice, so you can see a 1 when it was pressed, and a 0 when it is released. 

Code:
ubuntu@pine64:~$ sudo evtest

No device specified, trying to scan all of /dev/input/event*
Available devices:
/dev/input/event0:      sunxi-keyboard
/dev/input/event1:      axp81x-supplyer

/dev/input/event3:      audiocodec sunxi Audio Jack
/dev/input/event4:      sunxi_ir_recv
/dev/input/event5:      MCE IR Keyboard/Mouse (sunxi-rc-recv)

Select the device event number [0-5]: 1
