Ah, thanks. I'd seen Matthew's article on basic ACPI drivers, but hadn't seen this one. > And you should probably make it a platform driver (being the parent of > acpi, wmi, input, backlight, rfkill, etc..). I had faked a platform device to start with, but got rid of it as soon as I had the acpi_device to use instead. > Is there a lot of thing hidden in ACPI / WMI on these models (like > hotkeys, backlight, light sensors) ? I think so, yes. My primary focus was the rfkill, which was breaking wireless connectivity unless we have a way to turn it off -- but now I'm here I may as well see what else I can do with it. -- David Woodhouse Open Source Technology Centre [email protected] Intel Corporation -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe platform-driver-x86" in the body of a message to [email protected] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
