I've tested with 3.0.2 since 2.10* gave only a parse error. Maybe is a problem with linux-next or something I'm missing in the config file , I will retest with linus tree soon. > >> Luca what do you think about creating a proper patch for the driver too and send it over to >> Greg to be included in his linux-staging tree ?

I don't think it does matter it is an ACPI driver.
