Is there a driver i can base mine on, if so which one? Maybe you can point me to a good example that is conceptually similar. As i already wrote in the reviews of v1, the ACPI tables will not change on the machines in question. So there is a need for a driver. Either one like i did propose or maybe something that patches ACPI or loads device-tree snippets, again please point me to good examples. We are talking about x86-only here. Henning > Greets > Alex
