In addition, the lid microswitch and some docking station buttons may also generate such events. +Hot keys also generate regular keyboard key press/release events through +the input layer in addition to the ibm/hotkey ACPI events. The input +layer support accepts the standard IOCTLs to remap the keycodes assigned +to each hotkey. + +When the input device is open, the driver will suppress any ACPI hot key +events that get translated into a meaningful input layer event, in order +to avoid sending duplicate events to userspace.
