Status: Conversion to input layer on PPC

[Franz S. <Fra...@la...>]

Hi,

the move to the input layer on PPC with the 2.2 USB backport works quite 
well so far, the problems remaining so far are:

- the input layer drivers are not built if CONFIG_USB=n, can that please be 
changed in 2.4? So we can get these built if CONFIG_ADB is set? I'll take 
care to call input_init_module() in adb.c if CONFIG_USB=n then. This is 
quite important for us, since we could completely convert ADB to the input 
layer in 2.4 already.

- keyboard problems with japanese keyboards, on both USB and ADB some keys 
are not recognized yet:

<Hiragana_Katakana> key aka kana (KEY_JPN?), USB 0x90, ADB 0x68
<Eisu> key aka "english" (KEY_?),            USB 0x91, ADB 0x66
_ key, underscore (KEY_?),                   USB 0x87, ADB 0x5e
|\ key, bar+backslash (KEY_?),               USB 0x89, ADB 0x5d

see http://developer.apple.com/technotes/tn/tn1152.html#JISKeyboards for a 
picture of the keyboard. I'll get a list of the ADB keycodes soon, so 
probably I can overlap the _ and the |\ key with existing KEY_* mappings, 
that are present on ANSI/ISO keyboards, but not on JIS keyboards. For the 
"kana" key, the choice is pretty obvious, or? Don't know what to do with 
the "eisu" one yet...

- one button mouse support: this requires small changes in keybdev.c and 
mousedev.c, all wrapped into CONFIG_MAC_EMUMOUSEBTN. Any objections to 
include that?

Franz.
