I still fail to see what that has to do with backwards compatibility. Nobody is forced to use the Debian kernel; my impression is that most people build their own kernels anyway. What we are trying to achieve is to make an inevitable transition (ADB keycodes will go away completely in 2.5 AFAIK) as smooth as possible for the average user. The way we are doing it right now may not be perfect, and we appreciate any help to improve it further. -- Earthling Michel D�nzer (MrCooper)/ Debian GNU/Linux (powerpc) developer XFree86 and DRI project member / CS student, Free Software enthusiast
