It is based on Linux 2.4.24-rc4 too. NAK. You cannot make 32 bit BIOS calls in a 64 bit OS. This will (and does) segfault on x86-64 (tested on my Aspire 5020, wher= e =20 call_bios wistron-btns just segfaults on x86-64 with this patch). This is a known issue, and the reason why wistron-btns (and the out-of-= tree=20 acerhk) have not been ported to x86-64. -Carlos --=20 E-Mail: carlos@strangeworlds.co.uk Web: strangeworlds.co.uk GPG Key ID: 0x23EE722D - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-input" = in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
