If that's verified, it would be -stable material. [I guess the regression was caused by the Linus' patch we were discussing on IRC.] It also evidently fixes my resume problem on the MSI Wind. Both machines (the Wind and the Romano's box) have the problem with ACPI not being enabled by the BIOS on resume from S3. Thanks, Rafael > On Sat, 4 Oct 2008, Rafael J.
