Yes, but the problem is that ACPI_BAY is not nearly good enough in ThinkPads... yet. > If so - if you compile this one, then the user who chooses to use bay.ko > instead > to control the bay can not use ibm_acpi at all to control the remaining > functionality. I feel this should be dependent on ACPI_BAY=n. Please look at the patch I just sent. It allows ibm-acpi to load if ACPI_BAY is loaded. It will, of course, cause ACPI_BAY to refuse to load if ibm-acpi is already loaded, but that's probably fine as ACPI_BAY has just a single function. Note that these are all just stop-gap measures. We either need to have ACPI_BAY do everything needed in ThinkPads (like handling bay batteries), or to make both drivers work together, or I'll just pull all the ACPI_BAY functionality into ibm-acpi (and then I will definately conflict with ACPI_BAY). -- "One disk to rule them all, One disk to find them.
