asus-wmi.ko should be loaded before video.ko

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi,

The new commit[1] will call acpi_video_dmi_promote_vendor() to add
the ACPI_VIDEO_BACKLIGHT_DMI_VENDOR flag to acpi_video_support.
So, asus-wmi.ko should be loaded before video.ko, or calling that
function is in vain.
Since loading video.ko will check those flags, we have to add the flag
before it's being checked.

I'm wondering is there a way to add this kind of dependency in the code, so that
depmod will help to build the dependency in modules.dep

1. 272c77d asus-wmi: control backlight power through WMI, not ACPI

Best regards,
AceLan Kao.
