Hi all,

at the moment I am writing my first linux input driver. The keypad is
organized as a matrix, where each edge
should be configured to send a defined keycode.

What needs to be done in the driver to support loadkeys functionality?
If I have read loadkeys examples correctly
it must be possible to support stuff like alphanumeric input - or I am
wrong with this point?

The current state of the driver delivers row and column of the pressed
key - so good so far.

thanks,

Have you looked into existing drivers though? Especially into 
drivers/input/keyboard/matrix_keypad.c?

Thanks.
