passing events to userland

[edscott wilson garcia]

Hi,

I'm using Hiroyuki's toshiba_acpi patch (posted on the freebsd-mobile
list), and it captures the extra buttons for acpi settings. I want to
use such events to do things in userland.

Does anybody know how to pass make a kernel module generate a specific
keypress event in userland?

Any ideas or pointers to where to look will be greatly
appreciated. Maybe there is some kernel module that I can examine the
code? Using 5.1-RELEASE.

regards,

Edscott
