To clarify a bit: 1) There was originally a plan to add some generic WMI based autoloading to the kernel. The patches to do this (which I have floating about somewhere) where dependent on other driver core changes that have not yet made it in (still), unless I can come up with an alternative solution.
2) Loading of acer-wmi is currently done by DMI matching - look at the MODULE_ALIAS line. This is only set for Acer laptops, as I'm not sure yet about trying to autoload the driver on lots of non Acer hardware. -- acer_wmi is not used by default (on Fujitsu Siemens Amilo A1650G) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/248635 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
