[Debian-eeepc-devel] [eeepc-acpi-scripts PATCH] Option to leave volume changes to Gnome

Hi

I'm using Gnome on my 901 and I find the way eeepc-acpi-scripts
currently handle volume hotkeys (by directly changing mixer settings
through Alsa) a bit in contradiction with the ways of a modern Linux
Desktop.

This is a patch that will leave volume changes to gnome-settings-daemon.
If a running g-s-d is detected, the script only invokes acpi_fakekey to
communicate a volume up/down/mute event down the stack. The benefits are
 that you get the nice stock Gnome volume meter on pressing those hot
keys, like on most other laptops. If g-s-d is not running, amixer is
invoked as before.

Unfortunately, acpi_fakekey and /usr/share/acpi-support/key-constants is
currently in acpi-support package, which conflicts with
eeepc-acpi-scripts. This problem could be fixed by moving these two
files to acpi-support-base.

Best regards
Tomaž
