How about: we add a new rule file that calls a very basic wrapper
script, that calls hotkey.sh with the appropriate codes in case
eeepc_wmi is loaded?
This would keep hotkey.sh simple, and would be very easy to turn off
in case eeepc_wmi starts generating hotkeys again.
BTW, could you try a kernel that has eeepc_wmi natively (w/o
backporting) too? I'd like to be sure that eeepc_wmi never generates
hotkeys before making this change...
Cheers,

Luca
