The "application buttons" are a set of buttons/led/lcd used by some fujitsu-siemens lifebooks. The driver uses the i2c interface, it also includes a simple user space program to control the device. I'm using the ebuild for quite some time myself, maybe you want to include it in gentoo. it's available from http://penguin-breeder.org/kernel/download/apanel-1.3.ebuild.tar.gz Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3.
If you want to have that in portage, please use something other than kmod. It definitely wont get added with "inherit kmod" see bug 68548. The latest is "inherit linux-mod", example ebuild is latest alsa-driver or lirc-0.7.0, nvidia driver, ...
Created attachment 77324 [details] update ebuild, uses linux-mod Updated ebuild; cleaned up and rewritten to use linux-mod eclass. The package does not yet build due to source problems. Possibly a missing i2c include.
Created attachment 77326 [details] new apanel ebuild and associated files this adds a patch that may or may not be correct, but it attempts to correct for the kernel i2c change between 2.6.14 and 2.6.15. The patch is included by default in the ebuild included. All other files are as origionally distributed at the origional link. Of specific consern is line 618 of apanel.c, the adap->id reference is likely wrong, but without a refreence to a patch/change, it was a best guess. I couldn't verify functionality, as it couldn't find my hardware, and I'm not certian it would if it was working right (no "control" to compare to).

(this is an automated message based on filtering criteria that matched this bug) Hello, The Gentoo Team would like to firstly thank you for your ebuild submission. We also apologize for not being able to accommodate you in a timely manner. There are simply too many new packages. Allow me to use this opportunity to introduce you to Gentoo Sunrise. The sunrise overlay[1] is a overlay for Gentoo which we allow trusted users to commit to and all users can have ebuilds reviewed by Gentoo devs for entry into the overlay. So, the sunrise team is suggesting that you look into this and submit your ebuild to the overlay where even *you* can commit to. =) Because this is a mass message, we are also asking you to be patient with us. We anticipate a large number of requests in a short time. Thanks, On behalf of the Gentoo Sunrise Team, Jeremy.
