So far so good (well, sort of). That's not what I was thinking. Right now, older Thinkpads need polling if you want to get some keyboard events. However, the BIOS seems to impleemnt this by calling the ACPI CMOS update methods. Rather than polling, we can therefore make it event driven. The events won't go out to userspace, they'll just call a callback in the driver which then generates input events or uevents or whatever. -- 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
