Re: [PATCH] Ignore ACPI video devices that aren't present in hardware

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Vendors often ship machines with a choice of integrated or discrete
graphics, and use the same DSDT for both. As a result, the ACPI video
module will locate devices that may not exist on this specific platform.
Attempt to determine whether the device exists or not, and abort the\
device creation if it doesn't
