I thought by now ACPI would be a standard part of Linux, at least in 2.6. Interestingly enough, the vanilla kernel does have ACPI support. How is this different from your code? I've seen many kernel extension websites eventually say something like "no more separate downloads necessary, just get the latest kernel", but yours does not yet say that. Is this on the agenda? Sorry if this is a dumb question. :) -Justin ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by: IBM Linux Tutorials Free Linux tutorial presented by Daniel Robbins, President and CEO of GenToo technologies.
