lets do this: take this patch and modify it so that by default it fixes the bug filed in http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=13577 ie. by default do what Windows 2006 seems to do and use the 1st and ignore the duplicates. continue to print out the warning, so we have some clue how much we see this in the field. and also modify the patch so that in case we are guessing wrong about windows compatibility, we go back to current behaviour and allow multiple devices. say video.allow_duplicates or something thanks, Len Brown, Intel Open Source Technology Center -- 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
