------- Additional Comments From [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2007-05-01 01:41 ------- > You are mistaken here - if a box has an active multiplexing controller (which > many HP's do have) then you have 4 independent AUX ports + 1 KBD port. Not mistaken. There's a difference between ports that are present in silicon vs those which are actually wired up. In this case, ACPI reported that only two ports (KBD, one of the AUX == touchpad) are wired. Ergo "too many". As a rule, controllers that aren't usable shouldn't show in sysfs. > also physically belong to the keyboard controller (i8042) not ACPI or PNP. > Therefore I do not think why I would want to use PNP nodes, especially given > the fact that I am quite often 4 nodes short. As above. The i8042 code is being told how many nodes *really* exist; it's not a case of being "short", the others aren't wired up/usable. A PCI analogy: sysfs won't show slots, it shows cards plugged into slots. > Well, if driver needs to check anything then it is not automatic. And as I explained: "automatic" is in general not possible. > Anyway, I recommend adding this support to > drivers/input/serio/i8042-x86ia64io.h where we > setup PNP driver for AUX and KBD nodes. That's a reasonable solution on x86 and ia64 ... given the rather strange driver structure. > This will leave core i8042 blissfully unaware of PNP/ACPI. But also: unfortunately unaware of wakeup. (And I didn't say a thing about making the core know about PNP.) ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by DB2 Express Download DB2 Express C - the FREE version of DB2 express and take control of your XML.
