Things seem to be that way... Regarding 'less than useful' interfaces, I just discovered another one. I want to use a Thinkpad's motion sensors for sound control. You can read them from '/sys/devices/platform/hdasp/position', which produces a string in the form (x,y). All good so far. But opening that file and reading a line from it say every 50 ms just repeats the same values. To get updates you have to close and re-open the file each time...
