Hello everyone,

I made a driver to allow booting into specific apps by pressing
hot buttons. This functionality is provided by PNP0C32 which all
Vista capable laptops should have.

If the laptop is turned off and a hot button is pressed, the
computer turns on and boots. This module gets a notification from
ACPI which button was pressed. Then the driver writes to the proc
fs which button was pressed allowing userspace apps to read that
files and behave accordingly. Proc files are also writable.

Eg:
ls /proc/acpi/hotstart/
DBTN  LVBN  MUBN  PIBN  QBTN  VOBN  WEBN

DBTN is DVD Button
WEBN is WWW Button

I've uploaded everything to my personal server (very bandwidth limited).

It's also attached here, just in case my ISP might do the usual...

I did only test on my own laptop.
I hope you like it.
