Subject: [PATCH] reverse CONFIG_ACPI_PROC_EVENT default
Date: Mon, 27 Aug 2007 16:04:39 +0100 (BST)	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <Pine.LNX.4.64.0708271602170.21853@blonde.wat.veritas.com> (raw)

Sigh.  Again an ACPI assault on the Thinkpad's Fn+F4 to suspend to RAM.
The default and text for CONFIG_THINKPAD_ACPI_INPUT_ENABLED were fixed
in -rc3, but now 14e04fb34ffa82ee61ae69f98d8fca12d2e8e31c introduces
CONFIG_ACPI_PROC_EVENT default n to disable it again.  Change default
to y, and add comment to make it clearer that n is for future distros.
