I see there is a lot of talk about a new input layer so why not some
more!
I have an IBM Rapid Access keyboard that needs to be sent an activation
code to activate the multimedia keys at startup. Is there support for
this? I would not be surprised if there where other input devices who also
needs commands sent to them.
I am very used to this keyboard and I wouldn't want to exchange it, so
even though I have not yet tried 2.5.x I'll probably do it just for this.

I have an "IBM Rapidaccess II" keyboard with a few miscellaneous keys
in the top and center, with a few more CD-player type controls in the
upper left. You don't need an "activation code", just something to
handle its funny scancodes. I use hotkeys to manage it. There's a
Debian package for it:

Yes, the new input code sends this activation, detects the keyboard and
enables the extra keys and LED.
