Something that may be worth considering though is if switching the touchpad off in Windows survives a hot/cold reboot. We may want to re-enable it under Linux if that is the case. For the rest I totally agree with Dmitry and I'd rather not see this patch applied unless there is an actual advantage in having the feature. -- mattia :wq! -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe platform-driver-x86" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
