Hi both,

I tested it and the driver works for my Asus L3400D too! I'll put up a
page about Linux on the Asus L3400D within a few days... I use kernel 2.5
in stead of 2.4 for better ACPI and CPU frequency scaling support and I'll
take a look at this driver to port it to 2.5. Will this driver be
supported in the ACPI patch sooner or later? What has to be done to have
it supported in the ACPI patch? Maybe it is a good idea to use
/proc/acpi/event and /proc/acpi/button in stead of /proc/acpi/asus/hotk.
Maybe /proc/acpi/led can be introduced for the status leds... Please let
me know what I can do...

Regards,

Gertjan
