Subject: [PATCH] Add switch for dock events
Date: Fri, 23 May 2008 17:09:55 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20080523160955.GA19674@srcf.ucam.org> (raw)
Add a switch to signal dock events to userspace.
Signed-off-by: Matthew Garrett <mjg@redhat.com>

I've done this as an input event rather than anything else since there
isn't necessarily a terribly coherent concept of a dock device. HPs (for
example) don't use ACPI for docking - the dock is simply an extension of
devices that are already on the system. We can't sensibly create a dock
platform device and then generate uevents on it. Doing it this way lets
us standardise on a way to send docking events to userspace, which lets
desktops do things like automatically expand onto external monitors when
the system is docked.
