Ok. I made an updated version. I leave it to you to decide to remove the proc entries or to push something like this upstream for the time being. On my laptop this patch seems to resolve the problems. One remaining question: why is typedef char acpi_bus_id[5]; and not: typedef char acpi_bus_id[ACPI_NAME_SIZE+1]; If you went through the trouble of defining the size, than it is better to use it everywhere? Regards, Danny Acpi bus ids are not necessarily unique. For example, the VID entry can appear on both the PCI and on the AGP bus. The proc entries for the acpi video devices were not aware of this. Therefore, a double VID entry could occur in /proc/acpi/video/. This also lead to a warning on remove_proc_entry because the wrong directory was removed first. This patch renames the VID entries to include their parent bus (ie VID_PCI0 and VID_AGP).
