Well, yeah, but I get rc's only for better backlight support so if the changes don't concern acpi, backlight or so, I don't really need it ;) If I track git should I track yours with thinkpad-acpi most recent stuff or linus's with most recent stuff except thinkpad-acpi? > > What will 2.6.24.2 plus thinkpad-acpi 0.19 20080213 improves on this? > > It will be the same, but you won't have to load video.c to get the LCD ACPI > events.
