Dmitry,
Is there a reason not to simply add a "state" attribute
to a LID input device?
Len,
There is no LED input device, there is an input device that happens
to
report EV_SW/SW_LID state. If we did that we'd need to add attributes
for all types of switches, keys, current values of REL and ABS axis,
min/max/fuzz/flat settings of ABS axis and so forth that input device
might report. I do not think it is a good idea.
I agree.
How about adding a field in uevent file that reports the switch
status?
I think if you can listen to uevents you can just as easily open /dev/
input/eventX and listen to proper input events.
Thanks.
