No. It proves more and more that DMI data is just not a reliable way to identify machines. We should probably move to use the PCI vendor, subvendor and device IDs of the Graphics card and maybe the root bridge or something like that. I will, however, not implement this, since we can do that very easily with HAL and HAL will just pass the correct options via pm-utils to s2ram. This will mean that the whitelist will move from s2ram to the hal-info package, but there is already a whitelist used by the distributions that do not use s2ram, and a unified solution will probably be the best long- term solution. All just my humble opinion, of course. If somebody wants to implement PCI-ID matching and maintain the whitelist for that, i will welcome this, too. I for myself am just allergic to duplicated work :-) -- Stefan Seyfried "Any ideas, John?"
