Yeah, that's the "safe" patch which stops us executing the codepath that breaks, but also means I don't get display switch events. Having it set to 1 means executing BIOS code that's likely to interfere with the rest of the system, so a crash isn't surprising. But a setting of 0 *should* be safe, and I'm quite confused as to why it's exploding. -- Matthew Garrett | mjg59@xxxxxxxxxxxxx -- 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
