[Debian-eeepc-devel] Bug#488412: eeepc-acpi-scripts nor ready for 2.6.26 /sys interface

[Astrid S. de Wijn]

Package: eeepc-acpi-scripts
Version: 1.0.3
Severity: wishlist

As discussed with SynrG on #debian-eeepc

In 2.6.26 kernels the eeepc-acpi-modules are no longer needed and code
for interacting with the eeepc specific acpi stuff is in the kernel.
The interface is in /sys, though, no longer /proc/acpi/asus.
eeepc-acpi-scripts does not use the new interface.
 
wireless control (previously /proc/acpi/asus/wlan, used in
/etc/acpi/actions/wireless.sh)
moves to: /sys/devices/platform/eeepc/wlan
 
brightness control (previously /proc/acpi/asus/brn, used in
/etc/acpi/actions/suspend.sh)
moves to: /sys/class/backlight/eeepc/brightness
 
Please rewrite the scripts to autodetect and use the correct interface.
