Is there a reason to not flip that? /me goes off to look at how other people do it... sony-laptop uses "1" for on and "0" for off, so I guess you're right. Not sure what I was thinking there, I'll flip it in the final version of the patch. Thanks! Which brings me to a related question someone here may be able to answer: Which bit of userspace would be responsible for managing the drive's power state? To me the most intuitive automatic mode of operation would be that the system powers off the drive after some time iff there is no medium in the drive. On these laptops there is no need to actually power the drive back up, since it will do so automatically if a user attempts to insert a disc. -mato -- 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
