--- Comment #11 from Jean Delvare <kh...@linux-fr.org> 2009-08-30 08:08:19 --- (In reply to comment #9) > In fact, there is no ACPI sensor driver, but some ACPI AML code may poke the > same resource at runtime. There are ACPI sensor drivers for some machines: asus_atk0110, eeepc-laptop and thinkpad_acpi. However, I agree that the message "ACPI: Device needs an ACPI driver" is misleading. The device _may_ need an ACPI driver, if the BIOS implemented an API for the device in question (which, AFAIK, can't be checked.) If not, then either the generic "thermal" ACPI driver may be used, or nothing can be done (other than a white list, if we really want to get hardware monitoring on some machines.) I'll send a patch clarifying this log message. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.kernel.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are watching the assignee of the bug. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Let Crystal Reports handle the reporting - Free Crystal Reports 2008 30-Day trial.
