This ACPI update does extensive damage to Andi's pending queue. I fixed four patches, dropped four or five more, hit more problems then gave up again. I'll go back to Thursday's git-acpi again. Longer-term, I expect Andi will merge before acpi does, and you're looking at a fairly large amount of fixing after that happens. - 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
