2007-06-17 Thread Thomas Renninger
This patch series enables ACPI modules to get loaded automatically via module aliases. Thanks to Kay I got help with the udev strings and this got already some testing and review. There are some minor problems left, but this should be mm ready and it would be great if you can add these to your

[PATCH 3/3] ACPI autoloading - Create __mod_acpi_device_table symbol for all acpi drivers.

2007-06-17 Thread Thomas Renninger
Create __mod_acpi_device_table symbol for all acpi drivers. modpost is going to use this one to create modules.alias Hopefully thinkpad module still works. IMO this one should get restructured and make use of acpi_bus_register_driver and try to avoid to test for HIDs/CIDs for its own.

I got the same effect: I can't see the temperature change dynamically, degree by degree. Also, in a test, the sensor went up to 60-65C and the trip-point did't activate. This was with polling set to 1. If you need any more information, let me know. Try 2.6.22-rc5 with polling set to 0
