In an ideal world, where ACPI support is flawlessly added to all new notebooks, and tested, I would agree. ACPI in real life, however, is less perfect. I'm sure you could use the same argument for the root terminal; the average user shouldn't have to open up a terminal and su to root to do any system configuration action. I do not know *one* Linux user who has not used a root command shell to do admin tasks. Maybe a bad example, but you get my idea. Richard. p.s. This wasn't intended to get into a long thread about fedora kernel development, Dave Jones, Arjan and Alan Cox do a fantastic job in, my opinion, the hardest area of development. Back to my original question: Is there a simple way to recompile the src kernel with the updated dsdt applied? -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
