When it is reported > is it the same v1,v2 pair all the time? I have no idea. That's one of the problems with the sonypi events: different laptops behave differently, and sometimes Sony even changes the meaning of some events... > If it is the same we could > suppress "unknown" message in verbose mode. Why would you want to suppress a message in verbose mode ? The verbose option is there exactly for that: show the user all the data coming from the hardware, and depending on the verbose value only show the data which hasn't been decoded, or all of it. I don't think that adding a special hack for this event in an already hacky driver has some added value.
