Subject: Input event for blocking touchpad
Date: Fri, 26 Nov 2010 19:10:57 -0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20101126211056.GD3819@barata.holoscopio.com> (raw)

Hello,

I have a notebook with an ACPI system that notifies about the pressing
of the key for blocking touchpad. However, it does not notify it by
itself. I was considering sending the event to userspace and let it does
the blocking.

Since other keys are also notified by this same ACPI object, it's even
more natural that I use an input device to send this to userspace.

The problem is: there seems to be no event to represent this. Any
suggestions?

Best regards,
Cascardo.
