The removal of the existing keymaps from kernel depends on having an application to be called from udev to load the proper keymaps when a device is probed. After having it for a while, we should deprecate the in-kernel keymaps and move them to userspace. I also think that it is important to remove the 7 bits limitation from all drivers and re-generate the keymaps, since they'll change after it. cheers, Mauro. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
