I read these comments but they are from year 2004 and 2005. And the propoced patch was in some of the 2.6.25-rc versions. This is not an extra functionallity but the only option (for some of us) to run linux on our laptops. The ACPI code is quite difficult to play with, so I don't see any "nightmare waiting to happen" here. If at the end there are so many bug reports connected with DSDT, then just drop the patch again. I don't see that much bug reports on opensuse, ubuntu and mandriva complaining about a kernel panic based on broken dsdt. Maybe Dave Jones should reconsider his opinion about it. Or at least try to explain to the notebook producers that they should test their bios to work with linux, too. Fedora is supposed to be "on the bleeding edge". so i really don't see any reasons against (at least trying to) inserting this patch in some RCs. Lets see what'll happen. it is always possible to revert the patch. -- Click to get a free auto insurance quotes from top companies. http://tagline.hushmail.com/fc/Ioyw6h4d8EIXAvwILUXMaz5GGa1ZtyyaAXI851HuaA9ykDdFoQLNoH/ -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
