Handling dock events in userspace

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi
I need to handle dock events from dock.ko in order to enable video
output on my Thinkpad Port Replicator. From the kernel I see that this
event occurring:

[  680.551956] ACPI: \_SB_.GDCK - undocking
[  704.534054] ACPI: \_SB_.GDCK - docking


The question is, how can I handle this event in userspace? I've tried
listening to acpi events with acpi_listen, and uevents with udevd, but
I get nothing.

I just glanced at the source and saw some uevent references, but
obviously this doesn't  automatically mean that it ends up in udevd.
Is there any way to accomplish this with the current driver?
