Newer Acer laptops have a touch-sensitive media panel thing which produces keyboard events. There's a Hold key so it looks like I need a KEY_HOLD. However, the key on this laptop acts as a hardware toggle switch and produces two different keyboard scancodes: one when the hold is engaged, and one when it is disengaged. It is useful for userspace to distinguish between the two to properly interact with the volume controls in particular. I'm not sure if adding a KEY_HOLDON and a KEY_HOLDOFF is the right thing to do, though. The volume slider on the media panel normally produces the usual volume-up/down , but when it is configured in non-legacy mode (where software can interact with it and control it) it instead produces a single "volume event notification" key when anything changes. Looks like I also need a key event for that (KEY_VOLUMENOTIFY? I'm open to any suggestions). Also, what numbers should I pick for the new KEY_ events? Is there an established convention or do I just pick some unused region within the KEY_* area? -- Hector Martin (hector@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) Public Key: http://www.marcansoft.com/marcan.asc -- 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
