[05:34] <bullgard4> What is meant by 'platform device'? Example 1: (Wikipedia) "Linux distributions including Debian GNU/Linux, MontaVista Linux, openSUSE, Yellow Dog Linux, Gentoo Linux and Crux PPC are also available for the Pegasos. Support for the Pegasos as a platform device has been integrated into the Linux kernel mainline as of kernel version 2.6.13. --  Example 2: (Device Manager) "Platform device (pcspkr)".
[07:07] <twinhelix> Hi all. I'm running a laptop that has some suspend issues with the 2.6.22 kernel; a backported fix from 2.6.23 on Launchpad doesn't seem to have been accepted for Gutsy yet. Is there still time to get patches in before the final release, or do I have to look at compiling my own kernel post-release? Thanks!
[07:11] <twinhelix> FWIW: The patch and discussion is at https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-source-2.6.22/+bug/139045

[08:51] <Mithrandir> twinhelix: too late.
[09:13] <twinhelix> Mithrandir: Thanks for your answer. A related followup then: Is it easily possible to compile the 2.6.22 source with the requisite patch (a one-byte alteration in a struct), make a new bzImage, and retain ABI compatibility with linux-restricted-modules, nvidia-glx-new, etc etc.?
[09:14] <Mithrandir> yes, read the wiki link in the topic
[01:41] <bullgard4> What is the function of the directory /sys/devices/platform?
[01:41] <mjg59> bullgard4: This isn't the place to ask
[03:37] <Lutin> hi there
[04:50] <Chorus> is there any solution in sight for Bug #146924?
