Created attachment 15141 [details] Revert offending patch Len, I would like to just revert offending patch. We need to solve the original (non-fatal) problem in some different way.
208c70a45624400fafd7511b96bc426bf01f8f5e reverted from acpi test tree.
Len, can we please get this pushed upstream? It'd be a stupid regression to have in 2.6.25. Reverting the commit in question doesn't bring back my volume keys on the x60 btw, they are still not working (where as in 2.6.24 and earlier they did). I'm reopening this bug, it should not get closed until the patch is in Linus tree. Closing because it's in some private tree is a bad idea.
I can't reopen. So please reopen it.
Jens, This bug isn't "closed", it is "resolved", which is a state that means a patch is available for review and testing. It gets "closed" only when the patch is upstream. If the volume keys on your x60 stopped working, and continue to not work with the latest upstream kernel, i urge you to file a (new) bug.
Thanks Len, just as long as the patch gets upstream I'm happy. Not sure why it has to take weeks for a simple revert to get in though, some faster turn-around for simple issues like this would be nice. The volume keys work, but they don't generate events that are noticed. I'm told that is on purpose, though it sounds like a dumb way to break a working setup.
