mostly a rehash of patches from the past, and mostly not mine originally, attached is a patch.gz against the latest BenH 2.4 kernel. It adds support for:
- repeating brightness buttons
- volume buttons (using kernel space volume control interface) supported sound cards only (screamer, burgundy?)
- temperature support for my wallstreet 750CX, which doesn't use TAU. (not sure what CPUs support this coding. no checks yet)
- ICTC proc support (I still have this in my kernel. might use it one day)
- small ATY resource tweak in pmac_pci.c (I like it at 0x830--. not sure if 0x800-- is best or not. ignore if you like.)
I'm willing to help see some of these get into a public tree. BenH showed interest in the repeating and volume buttons, but with the noted exception of providing user space an interface to use them. This coding has a broken new input layer volume key support, which if completed, and supported by a daemon, could lighten the code bulk extensively. (links between adbhid - pmacfeatures - dmasound[module] aren't pretty)
figured now was a good time to remind people these things still exist.
