Well, your version of the patch: 1. does not make it clear to *userland* that using EV_SCAN instead of EV_KEY is something that is not to be done. If userland wants to use a key that is not generating an useful EV_KEY, it must remap the key to something. Otherwise, we are opening our flank to the crap we have with that kludge from hell AT keyboard reverse scan-code generation all again... it might have been unavoidable with the AT keyboard, due to legacy stuff, but there is no way we should let it happen to anything else. 2. does not make it clear that EV_SCAN events must reflect the scan code that, when remapped, would reprogram the key that caused that EV_SCAN event to be generated. I think these two points need to be addressed by the docs. -- "One disk to rule them all, One disk to find them. One disk to bring them all and in the darkness grind them.
