Thanks for that! I have one question though. Did you consider doing incremental ACPI patches? I'm using a heavily patched kernel with XFS filesystem support, and getting all these patches to work and applying all the rejects manually is a real pain. Incremental patches would really make life (mine, at least) easier. What do you think about it? (the above refers to the 2.4 kernel, with 2.5 changing so fast it isn't really a problem) Best regards, -- Karol 'sziwan' Kozimor sziwan-DETuoxkZsSqrDJvtcaxF/A@public.gmane.org ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: The Definitive IT and Networking Event.
