And of course it conflicts with the real asus_acpi.ko in any kernel package. So I cleaned it up, renamed it eeepc_acpi, and packaged it as a separate out-of-kernel Debian package that can be built with module-assistant. Here's the wc comparison: 1907 6180 50911 asus_acpi.c 453 1434 13037 eeepc_acpi.c When I proposed to add this package to Debian, it was also suggested that I contact this list to see about including it in the mainline. If I can help with that in any way, please let me know. I'm not subscribed, so please CC me on any replies. The source is at http://www.cs.cmu.edu/~ecc/eeepc-acpi_1.0.tar.gz, and the Debian package is at http://www.cs.cmu.edu/~ecc/eeepc-acpi_1.0-1.{dsc,diff.gz} Cheers, Eric -- Eric Cooper e c c @ c m u . e d u
