Can we please stop all this madness of trying to support twenty thousand weird and wonderful laptop configurations in the kernel, merge dev_acpi instead and then do it all in userspace? It strikes me as massively more maintainable. That way we don't need vendors to patch kernels every time a manufacturer tweaks something - a small userspace update can be pushed out instead. -- Matthew Garrett | [EMAIL PROTECTED] - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-acpi" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
