I agree. I have no real idea of the inner workings of fnfx, its client, or the kernel in regard to this, but the symptoms reminded me of #328085. So I concluded (or merely hoped) that it would be a matter of simply making the patch dependant on what version of Linux actually runs or something as easy as this. I wanted to ask another (more rhetorical) question: Why is a seperate daemon needed anyway, why not unify it so that acpi/hal/ivman can be used? But then I found http://developer.berlios.de/projects/ial and noticed the little box "Developers" with "thoenig" in it :). (I assume that this "thoenig" is indeed the same "thoenig" that has answered this bug report, i.e. you.) So now my question is rather: How good is IAL working and is there a possibility that it will enter Debian? If I can help anyway else please let me know. Greetings, BTW: I updated to linux 2.6.18.3 and the problem has not gone away. -- : Sebastian Fontius : www.fsfe.org : www.fsfe.org/en/fellows/smc `--------+----------+--------------+-----------------------------------.
