ANNOUNCE: Asus ACPI driver v0.22
Hi,
We have released a new version of the Asus ACPI driver with Julien. Please check http://sourceforge.net/projects/acpi4asus/ for any information.
Current version has the following features:
- support for hotkeys through /proc/acpi/event
- switching LEDs
- changing display brightness and switching LCD backlight
Current models supported: L2000D, L3800C, M2400X (untested), and possibly others.
We absolutely need more feedback, especially DSDTs, to further develop the driver and support other models. Please, all Asus notebook owners, send in your DSDTs and test the driver!
All feedback and comments are welcome, especially related to the possible future integration of the driver code with the ACPI project.
Best regards,

I tested on L3800C, all very fine!
I also hacked up a script for xscreensaver to use the lcd on/off feature as screensaver; makes me feel better concerning life of my backlight.

I have BIOS V1.18a from November 2002. I think most others will use this too and thus have the same DSDT.

OK, I'll have to test if switching screens, especially to and from TV-out. Last version prohibited this, I think because the hotkey event then went into the asus-ACPI driver instead of some builtin-BIOS code... very weird. I'll let you know.

Oh, yes, Andrew, please :)
This is very nice and finally makes use of the extra hotkeys of the ASUS notebook.

I tested it a couple of hours ago. It seems it still does not work -- strange, especially when the part of the code that handles events is completely different. I will try to fix it, but not until I implement the display output switching. Hopefully it will provide a workaround for that feature.
