Description: OLPC XO keyboard support daemon
The olpc-kbdshim daemon is used to handle keyboard events on the somewhat
unique OLPC XO hardware. It does this by monitoring the keyboard and
touchpad, enabling the XO "grab" keys and touchpad rotation (to match
screen rotation), and reporting user (in)activity. It can also bind the XO
screen rotate, brightness, and volume keys to appropriate commands (which are
provided).
