From c01d50d181f074a60bf3ed54eb055ce1679afb98 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jiri Kosina Date: Mon, 20 Aug 2007 12:13:34 +0200 Subject: HID: Report usage codes of keys as EV_MSC scancode events Current HID layer does not report usage codes to the input layer. This feature was previously removed, because it caused unnecessary storm of events in cases of positioning devices, etc. This patch adds reporting of usage codes as EV_MSC events only for key events. We issue the EV_MSC event only if the state of the key corresponding to the given code has changed, so that we don't report usages that are sent in every report even if the state hasn't changed (for example Shift/Caps Lock/... states as sent by various keyboards). This functionality is required at least by KeyTouch in order to provide convenient means for remapping the usage codes.
