Howdy John and All,

My interest in this is a satellite 5205-s703.  I've been toying with the
cPad driver and acpi/swsusp and I'd like to put the 'hotkeys' to better
use.  I've written an interface to poll /proc/acpi/toshiba/keys, but I
think I'd really like to see them enabled via a userspace agent similar
to what hotplug and other drivers now do rather than run a polling
daemon.

Is there any work in progress on adding support for this, and if not
would you accept a patch implementing something like it?

I started at the pointy end of stable with 2.4.21pre4 + the most current
acpi & swsusp and worked my way back to 2.4.19, which is the first that
keventd won't eat 100% cpu for me.

I'm also not on the list yet, so please CC.

thanks!
Ron
