Patch to fix this throughout ibm-acpi being written right now. I spoke too soon, line 1828 must *NOT* be changed or it will change userspace ABI, instantly breaking every ibm-acpi acpid hotkey scripts out there. The ibm-acpi hotkey events are named "ibm/hotkey" (to follow the convention "button/power", etc. I suppose). Changing line 1828 changes them to something else. Are you sure what you need isn't to change line 1857, which deals with acpi_bus_register_driver? I will reply with a patch. -- "One disk to rule them all, One disk to find them.
