If this is true, then ATI probably won't be able to tell us anything useful, so we're only going to find out if people in the Thinkpad division are willing to tell us something useful (and their track record for being helpful has not been particularly stellar). And what I was thinking about doing was having the CONFIG option only do it for machines that were detected as being IBM Thinkpads, not all Radeon chips. The blacklist would be for specific IBM thinkpad models; what I'm guessing here is that it's likely that all or most modern IBM thinkpads are going to be wired the same way on the motherboard. - Ted - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
