Re: 2.4 - buttons, temperature, ictc

With 2.5 even CONFIG_PMAC_BACKLIGHT in adbhid.c will go away and you _have_
to use the event devices then, so you better start using them _now_. Taking
kernel bloating shortcuts is not the way to go IMHO.

Right, all this belongs to userland. I might include part of this
patch in 2.4 so we have the feature working now, but for 2.5, I'd
rather use the event devices for both backlight and volume, and
have pmud handle them.

Why pmud? For backlight I kind of see how you'd get that notion. But
volume?

I admit to zero knowledge about the event device stuff but if it's
anything like register_event(fd, handler, event_code) or select instead of
having a hander registered I'd rather have some sort of event daemon
handle all this. That way, users could even customize the thing to get
particular functions mapped to keys :-)
