There's support for items 2 and 3 in iio-sensor-proxy. Would be nice if somebody with access to the quaternion sensor would write a driver for it (probably re-using quite a bit from the accelerometer code), and submit it. The support for the input devices will need to happen at the same time as the D-Bus API, as it replaces the udev accelerometer code. _______________________________________________ systemd-devel mailing list systemd-devel@lists.freedesktop.org http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/systemd-devel
