Subject: [PATCH] Add switch for dock events
Date: Fri, 23 May 2008 17:09:55 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20080523160955.GA19674@srcf.ucam.org> (raw)

Add a switch to signal dock events to userspace.

Signed-off-by: Matthew Garrett <mjg@redhat.com>

---

I've done this as an input event rather than anything else since there 
isn't necessarily a terribly coherent concept of a dock device. HPs (for 
example) don't use ACPI for docking - the dock is simply an extension of 
devices that are already on the system. We can't sensibly create a dock 
platform device and then generate uevents on it. Doing it this way lets 
us standardise on a way to send docking events to userspace, which lets 
desktops do things like automatically expand onto external monitors when 
the system is docked.
