For input event devices such periodic rescan now represent dbus call to check the status of switches. Find ways to solution listed as 1) would be good.
I also think we should investingate option 1), even though I have no idea how to do that.
I *think* we need to set up to receive notification signals from dbus, but most of the available documentation and examples are beyond my C programming weight class. The obvious place to start is dbus's own docs ( http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/dbus/#index4h1 ). There's also what seems to be an extensive example of signal creation and capture at http://maemo.org/development/training/maemo_platform_development_content/pl ain_html/node6/

You need to first make a list of "what to watch" and then find out "who will watch." We can not receive dbus signals until it is no one who send these signals :)
Already when I implemented the reading switches on the input event devices, I considered that monitoring could be carried out in tde_dbus_hardwarecontrol that would send dbus signals. But that would require first change way to refresh informations in tdehw-lib.
