2nd shot: kext for hotkeys

[adidasprince]

Problem
Hotkeys, Volumn Up/Down,Mute,ThinkVantage,Fn+F1..., does not work with Leopard or SL.

Motivation

• Want a perfect IBMac.
• Want to learn about acpi and kext.

Solution Part 1
Fn+ArrowKey, Fn+PrtSc/ScrLk/Pause work with modified VoodooPS2Keyboard.kext.

Solution Part 2
Volumn keys, Fn+F1 ... need a kext for "HKEY" device (id:"IBM0068").

Knowing issue
My kext only catch key-press event. Hope some one can do a front-end application to respond about those events.

Downloads and details
are on my blog.

That's a very good thing you are doing! I will give it a go tonight, will also look into creating some frontend app (shouldn't be too hard).

One other thing that I'm interested in - ThinkPad fan controller for OSX. The driver should be able to read THRM device status and set \_SB.PCI0.LPC.EC.HFSP register according to the current temperature. The logic is pretty simple, I just don't have the knowledge yet to write kernel extensions for OSX (drivers).

Thank you.

Temperature thing is lining at 4th or 5th.
I 'm trying brightness and monitor switch(my external monitor does not come back after wakeup.)
