Total number of bugs filed? None. It's not ideal, but it's simply not true that it results in a high level of user confusion or a screwed up mixer. (Context for those not aware of it - Thinkpad hardware has two mixers. One is associated with the sound codec and is controllable via ALSA. The other is Thinkpad-specific and is controlled via the hotkeys. Sending KEY_VOLUMEUP and KEY_VOLUMEDOWN results in both of these mixers being changed. However, since they're both changed in the same direction, nobody seems to be especially unhappy about this) > Until then, since the default meaning of *all* KEY_ events are active in > nature, I am against the idea of generating events that are to be handled in > a passive way, by default. That's simply not true. Userspace already interprets the brightness keys differently depending on the hardware type. -- Matthew Garrett | mjg59@xxxxxxxxxxxxx - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-acpi" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
