Changes (by Quozl):

 * next_action:  design => code


Comment:

 workaround:
  * adjust /usr/lib/udev/rules.d/96-olpckeymap.rules to run the new hwdb
 builtin, passing the keyboard model as search string:
 {{{
 ENV{DEVTREE_COMPAT}=="olpc,xo-*", \
  IMPORT{builtin}="hwdb 'keyboard:name:$env{XKBMODEL}'", \
  RUN{builtin}+="keyboard", GOTO="olpc_keyboard_end"
 }}}
  * add a file /lib/udev/hwdb.d/96-olpc-keyboard.hwdb with the OLPC section
 copied from /lib/udev/hwdb.d/60-keyboard.hwdb but with the header line
 changed to:
 {{{
 keyboard:name:olpc
 keyboard:name:olpcm
 }}}
  * regenerate the hwdb.bin
 {{{
 udevadm hwdb --update
 }}}
  * reboot (or udevadm trigger /sys/devices/d4290000.ap-
 sp/serio0/input/input5/event5)

 with these changes, the rotate, rocker keys, game keys, fn key, brightness
 keys, volume keys, and the grab scroll key all work as they did in fedora
 18.

 design change is to adjust olpc-utils package to do the above.
