It can create device nodes and symlinks based on the capabilities and IDs of an input device. 1a) HAL. It has all the info from hotplug as well. 2) open them all and do the capability checks / IDs yourself. 3) (obsolete, deprecated) parse /proc/bus/input/devices, which lists all the input devices
4) sysfs - all capabilities, IDs, etc for input devices exported there as well. -- Dmitry - 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
