From fc76b85ba7fd6fa9a37b696ab743568d5c7742c4 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Hans de Goede Date: Wed, 16 Dec 2015 11:19:00 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] acpi-video: Add a module option to disable the reporting of keypresses Add a module option to disable the reporting of keypresses, in some buggy firmware implementatinon, the reported events are wrong. E.g. they lag reality by one event in the case triggering the writing of this patch. In this case it is better to not forward these wrong events to userspace (esp.) when there is another source of the same events which is not buggy. Note this is only intended to work around implementations which send events which are plain wrong. In some cases we get double events, e.g. from both acpi-video and the atkbd driver, in this case acpi-video is considered the canonical source, and the events from the other source should be filtered (using e.g. /lib/udev/hwdb.d/60-keyboard.hwdb).
