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? -- Matthew Garrett | mjg59-1xO5oi07KQx4cg9Nei1l7Q@public.gmane.org ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by: NEC IT Guy Games.
