Can we just use the input layer instead? The SW_foo codes in the event interface were defined with precisely this sort of thing in mind. Reporting events as an acpi event would require either including the ACPI stack or faking up the acpi event layer, and neither of those seems appealing. -- Matthew Garrett | [EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ Devel mailing list [email protected] http://mailman.laptop.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
