Actually, a bit of further reading suggests that this is my fault :( The original ACPI error was quite correct - there is no EC region handler installed - because the EC handler is only installed for the EC device (PNP0C09), not WMI (PNP0C14). Had I read through the EC code earlier I would have spotted that one. So, my apologies for wasting your time with this. So, what I need to do is update WMI to install a handler for the EmbeddedControl region in PNP0C14. Alexey - I suspect the easiest way would be to make such a handler just call ec_read & ec_write, and let the EC driver do the real work, rather than trying to do anything more complicated in WMI? -Carlos (Hoping WMI doesn't keep throwing up more "surprises"...) -- E-Mail: carlos@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Web: strangeworlds.co.uk GPG Key ID: 0x23EE722D - 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
