What: ACPI hotkey driver (CONFIG_ACPI_HOTKEY) | ||
When: 2.6.21 | ||
Why: hotkey.c was an attempt to consolidate multiple drivers that use | ||
ACPI to implement hotkeys. However, hotkeys are not documented | ||
in the ACPI specification, so the drivers used undocumented | ||
vendor-specific hooks and turned out to be more different than | ||
the same. | ||
|
||
Further, the keys and the features supplied by each platform | ||
are different, so there will always be a need for | ||
platform-specific drivers. | ||
|
||
So the new plan is to delete hotkey.c and instead, work on the | ||
platform specific drivers to try to make them look the same | ||
to the user when they supply the same features. | ||
|
||
hotkey.c has always depended on CONFIG_EXPERIMENTAL | ||
