Maybe I should have s/hot.?key/HKEY/ throughout this patch. The HKEY handler is the thinkpad-specific handler to message-pass interesting events to the O.S. This include hot key pressing, but also inclures: LID open/close, radio switch toggling, what looks like thermal alarms, reason for wakeup (bay eject, whatever), notification of impending undock (to show a helper to the user explaining how to undock a x40/x60, etc)... and only IBM and Lenovo knows what else. Hot key presses are just one of the many things reported through thinkpad HKEY events. > If this is really an event due to an hotkey (emphasis on the word KEY:-), > why is it being sent via netlink instead of via input? Like I said, if it hit that branch, it is some other notification than a hot key press :-) Yeah, it is non-obvious. I will rework the patch to use the word HKEY event instead of hotkey event where applicable. -- "One disk to rule them all, One disk to find them.
