Hello Len, I'm sending this first batch of patches for review: - 1 to 7 are currently present in -mm - 8 to 10 are my local changes to have sony_acpi do something more interesting in recent vaios - 11 initializes the real brightness value in the backlight props (should this go in the backlight class itself?). I'll start turning /proc to platform_device in the next days. So, let's go! Comments are very welcome. :) -- mattia :wq - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-acpi" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
