    hijacled kernel module is prepared for 2.6.11-12mdk kernel
runtime modification. It replaces keyboard LED steering
function with another proper one. After loading of hijackled
into kernel use is new LED function. After module unload
old function comes back.

    At normal kernel any keyboard steer LED's of all keyboards
without any state cheking. New function does not touch already
grabed input devices. With new function ungrabed keyboard steer
all ungrabed keyboard LED's, grabed keyboard steer only his own
LED's. This feature is neccessary for faketty kernel module.

INSTALL:
# make
# make install
# modprobe hijacled

If You will use this module under another kernel, please replace
hj_kbd_handler
hj_keyboard_tasklet
hj_ledstate
hj_kbd_table
addresses, which can be found in /boot/System.map

Unfortunately i do not know which kernel is true under
Mandriva 2005 LE
Both modules, faketty and hijackled, i can load and
set up my system without reboot.
Non x86 platform status is unknown.
