Is there any programmatic way to determine whether a given Dell complies with your WMI spec or not? I'd prefer not to use DMI tables unless it's the only way to identify the machines - the risk is that there'll be something else that also uses its own codes and will just behave oddly until someone figures out why it's broken. -- 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
