Subject: Receiving ACPI notifications generically
Date: Sun, 05 Jun 2005 12:59:02 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1117972742.6648.122.camel@tyrosine> (raw)

It seems that Acer laptops send an ACPI notification when bay devices
are hotplugged (Notify (\_SB.PCI0.IDE0.SECN.BAY1, 0x01)). Obviously,
I /could/ catch this by writing a small driver that hooks the
notification and then use that to send an ACPI event. Is there any way
to do this from userspace? Can the generic hotkey driver be subverted in
this way?
