All too often this is solved by very laptop/desktop-sepcific code. The Dell Mini guys have completely hacked ApplePS2Keyboard.cpp, fixing bugs that plague other computers, but making it so Dell Mini-specific, it's useless for others.
3. Perhaps if we can get a small group of developers together that have different laptops/desktops, we can do a generic ACPI/WMI device that can be customized by different plugins, and/or user-space GUIs.
WOW
Fast reply!
I just remember, Superhai told me once that ACPID has no use on OSX(smth is missing) so dont bother with it...
Trust me I looked on all I found about this lappie and linux, but no help for OS X since they use diff stuff.
About ApplePS2 did u tried VoodooPS2? I use it for a long time with no major bugs.
I think Superhai's AMW0 is a good start, and yes it must be generic with maybe plugins for each vendor/specific stuff.
AFAIK I'm not a developer, I dunno any programming language, i'm just messing with all stuff I can found using logic and deep search :P
