[ltp] thinkpad-acpi and input layer events

[Igor V. Rafienko]

Hi,


I have been playing around with the latest thinkpad-acpi and 2.6.22. So 
far I have been able to cope with differences compared to the previous 
versions, but one thing annoys me a bit.

Previously, a lot of hotkey presses generated ACPI events. This was all 
nice and dandy and I had my acpid execute certain things upon receiving 
these events. Latest thinkpad-acpi provides a choice: setting 
THINKPAD_ACPI_INPUT_ENABLED gives one input layer events, rather than ACPI 
events.

I am wondering how I can make my thinkpad respond to the events from the 
input layer. That is, with ACPI events, I had a few scripts set up in 
/etc/acpi/events/ and configured acpid to execute them on receiving some 
events. Is there a similar configuration file/directory and a daemon that 
I can use in case of the input layer events? Or am I approaching the 
entire thing in the wrong way? What is the "right way" (ok, any way) of 
listening to input layer events and associating actions with them?

TIA,
