You could get mine, then merge Linus' on top of it once a day. That would work fine. However, due to my use of stgit, when I release a new tree, you'll have to start over (get mine, merge your stuff on top of it, merge Linus' on top of the result, etc) because stgit means a git rebase, and that screws up continuous merges from my trees. Sorry about that, but stgit is all that is keeping me sane with six or seven trees to take care of :) I will try to not rebase the release/2.6.25 branch for trivial reasons, but if anything touching thinkpad-acpi gets merged by Linus, or a new -rc is tagged, I will rebase it. > > > 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.

But is it a good idea not to load video.c at all? If you are not using anything from it, you don't need it loaded :p And with the new thinkpad-acpi and xbacklight native mode, you should not need video.c for anything... > > If you could post the thinkpad-acpi debug output to me (compile with > > thinkpad-acpi debug mode enabled, and load it with the debug=0xffff > > parameter), it would be helpful as well.
