Hotkey events: final version ready for testing

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



I have finished cleaning it up, and I think the final version is ready.  It
is in the input-hotkeys branch of the git tree, as usual.

Testing is welcome.  It *DOES* change the ABI by default, but that's an ABI
that is *NOT* protected by any of the usual rules, AFAIK.  It is all in the
docs, and the kconfig option explains it all (I hope).

Users of acpi scripts will have to change them over to HAL, or they will
have to use input-kbd (from input-utils) to map keys to KEY_RESERVED or
KEY_UNKNOWN, if they want to remain using ACPI events to drive the hotkeys.

I did notice that something in my system keeps pestering the hotkey_mask
back to 0x81c when I /etc/init.d/acpid reload.  Probably some brain damage
in Debian Etch, likely in HAL or some acpid support script.  So, if all
hotkeys don't appear to be getting enabled by default in your system, please
check if they do upon driver load in single-user mode.
