That still makes most sense from my > point of view as the events are still hardware. Yes, we will still get an ALSA mixer, it is the proper way to interface to a mixer, anyway. Only now I know how to get interrupts to know when something changes the mixer :-p Should I filter out the volume up/down and mute hotkeys in the driver, if the mixer is open? Right now, the patch allows userspace to remap them to real keycodes, although it defaults to a very sane KEY_RESERVED. It would be easy enough to never ever generate these keycodes. I *really* don't want to see those keys mapped to something that would go and increase the AC97/HDA mixer volume up, etc... btw. and I *bet* that's just the kind of stupidity people would pull off (because they have already done it in the past numerous times). HAL guys won't do it, I documented it properly to be sure of it, and I trust them to read docs. But what about the authors of the typical "thinkpad helper" crapp or crapplet? Or should I just ignore their existence, and let them break things for the unaware user, if they want to? > > BTW, I also got events for the LID switch on the same code path in a T43, > > now.

It is in the git tree, in the same input branch you used before. -- "One disk to rule them all, One disk to find them. One disk to bring them all and in the darkness grind them.
