As things stand, this is likely to be a problem for anybody using lenny on Eee hardware and upgrading (on their own) to 2.6.29, given that that workaround is present in eeepc-acpi-scripts in lenny.

BIOS bug or no, the fact remains that this is (AFAICS) a regression. -- | Darren Salt | linux or ds at | nr.
