| |
Dell laptops have hotkeys on the top of the keyboard for "hibernate", "cd eject", "battery status" and so on. These can be mapped to appropriate keycodes, and life is good except for the fact that they never produce a key release event. The kernel appears to have code to deal with this for the hangul key, but it's hardcoded rather than generic.
Is there any way for userspace to tell the event layer that a certain keycode should have soft-release? If not, would a patch for this be accepted?
