Re: Fwd: Using serio_register_driver

["Fausto Carvalho" <faustocarva@gmail.com>]

Well, i have a 8042 controller "connected" to the keyboard controller
that send information about battery and others to the keyboard
interrupt and io ports in the format of keystrokes. I want a way to
not alter atkbd but to create another driver that lives together with
atkbd. Is there a way?
