yes, certainly something outside of /proc. ideally something _generic_ under /sys. If device specific and the device exists in sysfs already, then there. But there can be platform specific hooks in sysfs too. thinkpad-acpi stuffs some platform specific junk under /sys/devices/platform/ see Documentation/thinkpad-acpi.txt your fujitsu driver will probably be a lot like the msi-laptop.c driver when you're done with it, maybe even simpler. cheers, -Len - 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
