I agree, and that was the point of 'picture of me hanging head in shame', so there's no need to rub it in. Anyway, the TP600X w/ vanilla DSDT *was* unsupported (circa 2.6.11), but now the ACPI interpreter can interpret the vanilla DSDT and go into S3 sleep (before, it would complain about a missing S3 sleep object because the DSDT used a funny syntax). There were other problems in the vanilla DSDT (e.g. probably using fn-F7 to switch to an external display doesn't work) but I'll investigate them one at a time. -Sanjoy `Never underestimate the evil of which men of power are capable.' --Bertrand Russell, _War Crimes in Vietnam_, chapter 1. - 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/
