I think that's an understandable position, but it's not one which matches reality in some cases (sadly). Most Dells generate an i8042 scancode when you hit the brightness keys, even though they'll also change the brightness. They'll do the same for the wireless killswitch. Personally, I think it's logical for physical keys to generate events though the input layer. -- 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
