From: Lennart Poettering <[email protected]>
The attached patch adds four new KEY_xxx definitions to linux/input.h.
KEY_BLUETOOTH, KEY_WLAN:
Some laptops have seperate "rfkill"
buttons for disabling/enabling Bluetooth and WLAN.
KEY_POWERPLUG, KEY_POWERUNPLUG:
Some laptops generate a fake key event when the power cord is
plugged or unplugged. (Notably MSI laptops, such as S270)
Applies to all recent 2.6 kernels.
Please merge,
Lennart

How do these events get delivered? Are you saying that atkbd reports
key presses when pulling out AC cord?

Yes, exactly.

Lennart,
I applied part of the patch defining KEY_BLUETOOTH and KEY_WLAN, but I
did not apply KEY_POWER[UN]PLUG. I feel that these should not be
defined as KEY_* events but (if we decide that they should be reported
through input layer) as EV_PWR events.
