The fix would involve implementing input device hotplug support in DirectFB core and the linux_input driver. I was thinking about the same issue a while back and my idea was to avoid hal/dbus and instead use inotify for the hot plug/unplug detection. But that's just the simple part and the more difficult part is making sure the core input device code can handle devices appearing and disappearing. -- Ville Syrjälä [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.sci.fi/~syrjala/ _______________________________________________ directfb-users mailing list [email protected] http://mail.directfb.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/directfb-users
