I really really think this is wrong. Power management should be possible without input layer. EV_PWR is fine for telling input devices to do something, like enter lower power mode and for sending _some_ requests to the PM system. But input layer shoudl not be used as a generic transport. I mean battery low, docking requests, etc has nothing to do with input. -- Dmitry - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
