Hi Mattia, (all with 2.6.28-rc4 plus your sony-laptop patches as posted to the list here) I am coming back to my problems with Sony VGN-Z11VN. The current status is that brightness adjustment via /sys interfaces work, but the hotkeys for brightness do not work. Furthermore, more important, the /sys/devices/platform/sony-laptop/wwanpower does not work. I wanted to ask you whether you can propose something I can try. I can hack the sony-laptop.c file to add more stuff, debugging, etc, but a hint where to start with the Hotkey support would be great. Concering the wwanpower sys file: I checked the content/cat-ing it and it is always 0, regardless of booting into linux from turned off state (and thus the device being not present/connected to the usb bus), or rebooting from vista (the device being connected to the usb bus). In both cases the file contains only 0. Also in this case, is there anything I can do? I thought about adding read entries for all unknown SPIC methods and see if the value changes. There is another idea: Maybe you know: Is there a way to *read* the values of these methods under Vista? If yes, I can turn them off via the sony driver, and read the value? Or some way of infering the sony driver what it is doing? In any case thanks for any suggestion and all the best Norbert ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Dr. Norbert Preining <preining@xxxxxxxx> Vienna University of Technology Debian Developer <preining@xxxxxxxxxx> Debian TeX Group gpg DSA: 0x09C5B094 fp: 14DF 2E6C 0307 BE6D AD76 A9C0 D2BF 4AA3 09C5 B094 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- CLABBY (adj.) A 'clabby' conversation is one stuck up by a commissionaire or cleaning lady in order to avoid any further actual work. The opening gambit is usually designed to provoke the maximum confusion, and therefore the longest possible clabby conversation. It is vitally important to learn the correct, or 'clixby' (q.v.), responses to a clabby gambit, and not to get trapped by a 'ditherington' (q.v.). For instance, if confronted with a clabby gambit such as 'Oh, mr Smith, I didn't know you'd had your leg off', the ditherington response is 'I haven't....' whereas the clixby is 'good.' --- Douglas Adams, The Meaning of Liff -- 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
