2.6.0-test9 regression: panic on Fn+F7 hotkey
Hi,
Pressing Fn+F7 to turn the LCD on / off causes 2.6.0-test9 to panic. That's AFAIK the single event that causes such a behaviour, other keys work fine. Reverting the acpi_ec_gpe_query.patchi[1] fixes the issue and makes the kernel run fine.
Best regards,

I've an ASUS Centrino M3N, bios 0203A (20030514), Debian testing/unstable, kernel 2.6.0-test9 w/ ACPI 20031002. When I press Fn+F7 the LCD correctly switchs on/off and I don't have any kernel panic.
Just you to know :-)
Thx, bye,

BTW: Is this a general ACPI feature or BIOS-related? I mean, I have a Toshiba Satellite 3000-601 and was NEVER able to switch to/from external vga using linux (no 2.4 and no 2.6 version!). The display freezes, the fan goes on and that was it .... :(

That depend. For the Satellite 3000-601, this is even the two:
the toshiba will got an acpi event from the embeded controller and the portion of the AML related to will call a smi handler...

IIRC, on ASUS laptops you can use Fn+F7 hotkey even if you don't install the 'acpi4asus' package: I just tried removing the 'asus_acpi' module and Fn+F7 works. With the 'asus_acpi' module you've notification of Fn+F7 hotkey pressing in /var/log/acpid, so you can configure an action when you press this hotkey.
I don't remember when I didn't have ACPI on my 2.4.21 what happened: I think it's a BIOS-related feature, not an ACPI one, but I'm not sure.

Fn+F7 is completely AML-dependent, asus_acpi has nothing to do with it. Best regards,
