We currently poke about a bit at registers on the EC to read (and sometimes write) a few values which are not available through WMI (but only on a handful of laptops, where someone has actually gathered the data on and passed back to me). On older laptops, this is so we can control the brightness and read 'real' values for the state of the wireless, bluetooth and Mail LED. On newer laptops, this is the only way to control the Mail LED at all (but this is all as a compliment to the functionality exposed through WMI - I have no intention of producing a generic 'acer-laptop' driver to control all the non-WMI laptops as well). -Carlos -- E-Mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Web: strangeworlds.co.uk GPG Key ID: 0x23EE722D - 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
