Power slide event capturing about kindlepdfviewer

[dpavlin]

We could stop framework with kill -STOP <backquote>cat /var/run/cvm.pid<backquote> and suspend ourselves with echo "mem" >/sys/power/state just like /etc/init.d/framework does. Would that help?

Except from writing /sys/power/state, are there anything else the framework does for power management? Maybe we could resume the framework on event occur to let it handle the power management and screen saver drawing?

I happened to find the file drivers/char/luigi_button.c in the released kernel source. Looks like the driver for the power slider.

Edit:
cat /proc/misc does lists the luigibutton device.

Maybe we can pull events from the power button with ioctl on /dev/pmic?

I've changed it a bit now and spawn the new process from within kpdfview via fork(). I reused the code you wrote in slider_watcher, since I really like the hackyness of the event emulation :-)
Worked very well for me. This should probably also be incorporated in other event loops.
While working on the code in input.c, I also enabled "waiting forever" in select().

Good job, fork looks cleaner. :)

I am closing this issue for now.
