It seems that there is a problem with my video card. I got the
following message:

It seems that acpi_video_bus_add function is invoked twice and, the
second time, it fails (maybe it is supposed to be invoked twice...).
Anyway, I can not tell you what was the first kernel where this problem
occured since the laptop is new and had this problem on all kernels I
tried (this one is Linus git-tree 2.6.27-rc5-00006-gbef69ea).
Also found out that I have two directories /proc/acpi/video/VGA/.
After looking at the code, I found the following code:
if (!strcmp(device->pnp.bus_id, "VID")) {
if (instance)
device->pnp.bus_id[3] = '0' + instance;
instance ++;
}
in drivers/acpi/video.c. Is this code supposed to solve a similar
problem as the one I am facing?
Please let me know whether you need any additional information to help
me solving this problem.
