NAK (patch rejected), but idea and mostly of the code accepted. The patch *is* good as far as I can see, but I decided to respin it to use a global input device for the entire thinkpad-acpi driver, for now. If we have a strong reason to register multiple input devices later, we can change that. I am also breaking the patch into at least two parts (input device and hotkey input device support). I prefer to have the things very granular, small and obvious, as they get clobbered together anyway when sent to Linus (so he doesn't mind the number of patches), and Len seems to prefer the patches small and simple as well, even if they get a bit numerous because of that. You get full credits, of course, and I will wait an ACK from you before I push it anywhere. It was your idea, and your patch probably is just fine as far as "it works" goes, so you get to comment and offer suggestions before I merge it. The target for this is 2.6.23. Linus has been very clear that he wants nothing but bugfixes for 2.6.22, now. We should have at least one month (probably two) to get it perfect, it should be quite enough :-) -- "One disk to rule them all, One disk to find them.
