I guess that refers to me:-) E-mail is fine, but the unfortunate reality is that due to simple volume, it is lossy. The reason we like bugzilla is that it never forgets:-) So thanks for taking the extra time to file a bug report http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=4193 If it turns out that there is no way a generic solution can handle the SNC Sony laptops, then I agree that a platform specific wart is the only way to go. But it would be best if we can make the exotic Sony/SNC look more generic to the user so that the user (and the distro supporting them) don't need to learn special things to handle this system. thanks, -Len ------------------------------------------------------- SF email is sponsored by - The IT Product Guide Read honest & candid reviews on hundreds of IT Products from real users.
