Looks like this was already ported to acpi_wmi(4) some time ago (or at least formed the basis for acpi_wmi(4)), but I can't load it on my Acer Aspire 5552 without panicking the kernel - seems it tries to construct two cdevs with the same name. Looking into a patch now, just to see what it does. ...and I had just downloaded the Linux kernel sources to try my hand at a port (acer_acpi lives in the Linux kernel now). What is the current procedure (if any) for porting GPL'd stuff to BSD? Anthony >Adrian
