Also there is existing application support for legacy LED_MAIL through input subsystem, and no application support for mail led through LED subsystem. > 2.

No, this drivers mapping table is from bits to key codes, not scan codes to keycodes. Each key is a bit in the scan code, so hitting A and B key generates scancode of : 0xC = 0x4 | 0x8. get/setkeycode is designed for keyboards where each key generates different unique code. > 3.

New version of driver has to use input_polled_dev->private directly. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/ | ||||||||||||
