You have a point, but the thing is that I hope to make this work interrupt
driven in the future.
Right now for some reason request_irq fails with ENOSYS (I don't know if
it's a bios acpi bug, or my bug
or acpi parsing bug yet, although I see that I get the right IRQ - the same
as that other a bit less
known OS...;) and also request_irq succeeds on xen kernel, but fails on RH
2.6.17.13 and vanilla 2.6.18).
To make a long story short, the interface should probably be different from
hdaps'
in the future + hdapsd will have to be modified anyway since I cannot
provide the functionality
to detect keyboard and mouse activity through the accelerometer, since it
doesn't support it.
Right now I can emulate hdaps and perhaps I can even provide the same
methods that will return
dummy result for the stuff I don't have. You think I should emulate hdaps'
functionalty
that is missing from mdps? I actually didn't look at why hdapsd needs
keyboard and mouse activity for.
I'm guessing that it's to see if you're using your laptop, since if there is
activity, chances are
that your laptop is not falling and if it is, it's falling with you along...
Need to check.
Regards
Yan
