>Anyway, actually we are not *using* acpi_fakekey

No, but someone made the choice to hack this in - to be blunt - I'm
getting a bugzilla every day about this and people are not generally
very polite when filing bugs about a flashing screen.

>That's like saying let's not blame Microsoft for the crappy Software

Well, if a virus scanner puts invasive hacky hooks into the CreateFile
API and then saving files in Word stops working - is it microsoft fault
or the virus scan vendor?

Bear in mind I've spent quite a bit of my time pushing proper solutions
into the stack (like INPUT for ACPI key presses) and installing hacks
into distros never fixes the problem. Fixing it properly sure takes time
but it's the way it has to be done. This is why I still use Fedora.

Rant over.
