Bug#1001126: O: olpc-kbdshim: OLPC XO keyboard support daemon



Package: wnpp
Severity: normal

I no longer have any remaining OLPC hardware, so I'm orphaning this. I
just did some superficial updates to the package for a decade of
policy changes, but the package still does need to be updated for the
new world of systemd.

In the past I've tried to request removal of OLPC-related packages, and
much to my surprise someone pops up saying that they still use them,
so I'm orphaning. I honestly have no idea how well the package even
works any more.

Thanks,
Andres



The olpc-kbdshim daemon is used to handle keyboard events on the
somewhat unique OLPC XO hardware.  It does this by monitoring the
keyboard and touchpad, enabling the XO "grab" keys and touchpad
rotation (to match screen rotation), and reporting user (in)activity.
It can also bind the XO screen rotate, brightness, and volume keys to
appropriate commands (which are provided).
