It would still be better than no driver at all. Yes, I think ACPI ALS support has been waiting for hardware to justify its existence. When it first entered the spec, we were excited to see it was present in some high-end laptops, but IIR on closer examination the AML turned out to be dummy code. If you can verify that your Samsung really does implement ACPI ALS, then that is all we need to stumble forward. 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
