Great to see this patch! Did you submit this to Linus, or are you waiting for feedback first? And what version of modutils knows how to emit records for "struct input_device_id" (or is there one?) via MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE? > I can provide some docs if it isn't obvious how it works. I provided skeletal docs on the website, mostly just grubbed from the invocation of the hotplug agent. http://linux-hotplug.sourceforge.net/?selected=input Real explanations of all those bit parameters would be good to have, from anyone who knows the input subsystem. There's too much "see the kernel source" there for my taste ... :) > It'd be nice if someone could add support for this to the hotplug tools.
