Will we see the promised ACPI 3.0 paper eventually too?

When ACPI 3.0 is officially public, I expect to discuss
what it means to Linux here on this list.  But I don't think
I'll wrestle with TeX again until next OLS;-)

From TODO list, I want to tell about it.

I start to implement Hotkey driver and Video switch driver
with vendor(Panasonic) support. I've already made its 
hotkey device driver, and the driver is posted later.

I have experienced about reverse-engineering of DSDT and making
hotkey driver, I think I can make hotkey drivers for other PCs. 
I want to request some Japanese PC vendor support, and if get, then 
I want to write hotkey driver for it.

About video driver,
 I'm trying to merge Ducrot's experimental implementation and mine.

I'll be happy to see any positive news on this front.

great!

I think there are a lot of people interested in seeting this piece of
the puzzle get solved.  Haven't heard from Bruno in a while -- he might
be on vaction.  In any case, please post what you have to the list or
the bug report so others can contribute.
