Hello, I've been annoyed for the longest time that Caps_Lock and Control_L can't be switched on an ADB keyboard. (When I used to try, I'd get some pretty strange behavior, with both toggling the light but not quite doing caps lock right- I don't quite remember, but it was pretty odd. Heard somewhere that it was an issue in the adb keyboard driver in the kernel...)
Now with the new input layer, I thought "Great, I can finally switch them." But no, trying to do so has no effect now, not even the wierd behavior from before. Have these keys been hardcoded? Another thing: there have been an *awful* lot of messages to this list about thenew input layer. Can we expect that future kernel-image upgrades might cause similarly widespread breakage, or will there be some effort to avoid this in the future, and let people choose to get new features by configuring and building their own kernels? Or perhaps should there have been a postinst in a kernel-image to install /dev/input and suggest people re-configure gpm and X (maybe via debconf)? Thanks, -Adam P.
