And in many (most?) cases the crappy stuff HW vendors deliver (often due to a broken M$ compiler, IIRC) can't be seen as a kernel bug at all. So providing a facility to let users/administrators solve that problem is not a bad thing. Having said that, I think my ASUS DSDT battery problem is solved since FC5 or so. -- -- Jos Vos <jos@xxxxxx> -- X/OS Experts in Open Systems BV | Phone: +31 20 6938364 -- Amsterdam, The Netherlands | Fax: +31 20 6948204 -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
