We may even find that the slowness of some extra indirection before making the same function call we would otherwise make is not actually measurable. We'll find out in a week or two. The complexity of implementation is real, but it turned out that Mitch had to do the work of adding ACPI tables for Windows anyway. Being able to suspend/resume on unmodified distro kernels (and not having to constantly maintain and forward-port "the OLPC suspend/resume patch" every release) will be a big win, worth some hours of our time in setting up ACPI. - Chris. -- Chris Ball <c...@laptop.org> _______________________________________________ Devel mailing list Devel@lists.laptop.org http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/devel
