One is a patch to implement new input layer support for the volume/mute buttons using a similar method to the backlight controls. The 2.4 version I wrote is incomplete, and the 2.2 version uses the 2.4 dmasound backport. An older one is more of an update from a patch that was posted to this list months ago. The new layer one also tries to feature NIL volume keys (they're in the header), but I don't think I did it right. Beware, I consider these patches to be 'my personal stash', and are rather messy in places. If anyone wants me to work on them more, or work on them themselves, just say so. My standing is, the buttons are there, lets use them. iBooks and Pismos still have them built into the keyboard too. Do we want these controlled kernel level, or send a keystroke so X (or something else) can catch it? If I can get to fixing the newer 2.2 patch, it could do either way. -- Joseph P.
