What could possibly be gained by everybody keeping independent bug lists? Nobody expects Andrew to do it, but Andrew seems opposed to the idea of _having_ a bug tracker - even if somebody else does it. Consider that if I was keeping my own "bug list" it would have exactly one bug - and it wouldn't be an ACPI problem, it would be the lousy DSDT on this Dell Inspiron. Everything that my DSDT properly defines, ACPI handles well. ------------------------------------------------------- This sf.net email is sponsored by:ThinkGeek Welcome to geek heaven. http://thinkgeek.com/sf
