Who owns /dev/input/event0 ?
I've purchased a new Acer Laptop and it has a bunch of buttons (some of them Fn+button) that don't currently do much under Linux. I started digging and some, but not all, report an event to the X server. However they do report events through /dev/input/event0. I would like to put together an interface to actually have them do something. Although I am now stuck. I believe that 'event0' is controlled through HAL and/or D-BUS but I can't find any reference to such. Is this the case or is there a kernel level driver that actually handles it?
:confused: Any help would be appreciated! |
the answer to your question is root owns it, just do
Code:
ls -l /dev/input/event0 Code:
xev come to think of it it might be xenv not xev, i don't remember, i'm not on my linux box, to check i can never rememeber the command, i'll check when i get home |
