Dmitry, what are your thoughts on this? To clarify, there are 4 different switches that we need to read the state of. 1. XO-1.5 lid switch, exposed via ACPI via normal acpi-button driver 2. XO-1.5 ebook switch, exposed via drivers/platform/x86/xo15-ebook.c 3. XO-1 lid switch, exposed via arch/x86/platform/olpc/olpc-xo1-sci.c (linux-next) 4. XO-1 ebook switch, exposed via arch/x86/platform/olpc/olpc-xo1-sci.c (linux-next) We'd like to do this from shell code, as root.
