I don't. I could though, using model-specific knowledge (i.e. a table) and help from the linux thinkpad community and thinkwiki.org. We deliver to userspace something like "Fn+F1" pressed, instead of "blank screen" pressed, because "blank screen" is in different keys depending on thinkpad model. The BIOS *does* know, and that's what the Mask does. If you leave a bit off, the bios handles that key (typically doing nothing), but for some keys like "suspend to disk", it actually generates a ACPI suspend event... etc. > if that association can be made, is is possible to send the events to > the input layer like other keyboard events? I plan to connect to the input layer later on, yes. But I haven't started down that road yet. -- "One disk to rule them all, One disk to find them.
