ACPI is already in the kernel, this is `just' an update. It's not good to have this code so far diverged from what's in the kernel -- many machines, including those I'm paid to work on, need more recent ACPI code than that in the standard kernel. -- Revolutions do not require corporate support. ------------------------------------------------------- This sf.net email is sponsored by:ThinkGeek Welcome to geek heaven. http://thinkgeek.com/sf
