Of course! To encourage this was one of the points of my post. :-)

Yes, that's a nice one too.

Actually, AMD has just released 3D programming docs for R5xx.

This would best be implemented as device + filter add-on combo for the
input_server. Actually, the usb_hid driver could be extended to handle more
device descriptions. So only a filter add-on would need to be made. Plus
preflet to configure actions.
I am a little busy at the moment to prepare for Chemnitzer Linux Days, but
I will try to update the idea list later today.
