Matthew and Rui accepted or signed them off AFAIK. On Peter's system (nokos@gmx.de, fujitsu with IGD support) it returns that there is no video support which looks wrong. I contacted him a bit late, after getting pointed to acpidump it still looks odd/wrong, and I need acpi.debug_level=0x1f log_buf_len=16777216 output to hopefully see what it is. A comment from Andi/Len would be great. Maybe this could already be sent to linux-next to make testing easier. Thomas PS: and this is version 2, I already sent version 3 which had some cleanups.
