I would like to have two different events for dock and undock. This way the userspace listener don't need to check the status file in sysfs to know if there was a dock or undock after getting the event. Anyway the status file is still usefull for programs don't react on the events, but like to know if the laptop is docked before starting for example. regards Stefan Schmidt --HcAYCG3uE/tztfnV Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" Content-Description: Digital signature Content-Disposition: inline -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.6 (GNU/Linux) Comment: http://www.datenfreihafen.org/contact.html iD8DBQFFfynobNSsvd31FmURAiMyAJ4oiRnvaeplmDUxGte7E8Ghs84SkwCgg9QL c3TQCSO0kb+FH6C8jzCqNzY= =BybV -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --HcAYCG3uE/tztfnV--
