------- Comment #22 from [EMAIL PROTECTED]  2008-01-09 08:50 -------
Ther keys work here if 5870a8cd23181703cc76f88f630372f8602c7648 is reverted
even with 2.6.24-rc7.

Patch to revert this commit would be:

------------------------------ drivers/acpi/ec.c ------------------------------

-               if (ACPI_FAILURE(acpi_get_handle(boot_ec->handle, "_INI", &x)))
-                       goto error;
        }

        ret = ec_install_handlers(boot_ec);


I don't know if this has any other side-effects (beside the asus laptop the
patch was meant for). It works here on the first try.

Have phun !
