I'd be happy though to review a patch to add this functionality. Could we add this to the wish list then...?

patches welcome :)
This bug should be converted at least to WISH any reason why that couldn't be done with HAL + udev? Hi Peter, this is only parameter which evdev module doesn't match against. So it is more likely wish for complete support of /proc/bus/input/devices in recent kernels I don't quite understand. Evdev only takes Device and Path options, and the latter is identical to the Device option anyway. Other than that, evdev doesn't do any matching against the device, and - IMHO - it should do anyway. You can easily set up HAL or udev to point the driver at the right device. Adding Uniq to the supported options means we have to start running through /dev/input/event* again (like evdev 1.2 did) and I'd rather avoid that behaviour. WONTFIX. Let the lower levels (i.e. HAL) deal with custom matching, not the driver. |
