I apologize for not keeping this up to date with where things are at. I've been in touch with the driver's maintainer (Matthew Garrett) and a patch has been made. What he has done is separated the signals for the dock and the tablet swivel. Before it was all one signal (which I wasn't aware of since I have no dock).
This patch adds a tablet switch node to the hp-wmi platform device. I'm still working on getting hal to play nice with it, but for now I have a (nasty) workaround that uses inotifywait to check the event device created for hp-wmi hotkeys (swivel changes report there strangely) for changes and execute a script upon finding a change. Patch is attached. Thanks for all of your help! ** Attachment added: "HP-WMI patch that goes against the 2.6.30 version of HP-WMI.c" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/29259144/hp-wmi.diff -- HP-WMI support for TX2500 tablet hinge and other buttons https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/344141 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
