Anyone have a short C fragment that reads the state of the control key? I expect to run it under X, but if it runs on a straight console, that's cool too. What's up is I found out that my Sony Vaio does have the ability to read the scroll wheel, as of kernel 2.4.7 or so. And I found a fragment of code that changes the volume. Cool, I listen to internet radio a lot, put them together and I have handy volume control. (Mute too when I click.) Next, I would like to have the turning the wheel with the control key mean to change the backlight brightness (I found a fragment for that too). Bonus: how to turn Vaio 505 backlight off altogether, my fragment doesn't go that far. Thanks a bunch, -kb
