No, what I propose is that sleep keys end up generating the same userspace event no matter how they're connected. The easiest way to achieve that (that is, the one which requires the least amount of new code to be written) would be to do it through the input layer. If you then want to respond to events by running something as root, this would require a small daemon that monitors input events. The current situation (where sleep keys may generate three different types of events) is getting somewhat untenable. -- Matthew Garrett | [EMAIL PROTECTED] - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-acpi" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
