That would have been my idea as well. It doesn't really matter how many input devices you listen to from user space and as the number of encoders on a certain board is not dynamic, I don't see much reason to put any efford in this ;) Daniel -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-input" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
