mardyquestion for ACPI people: do I understand correctly that a kernel driver can read any of the fields in the DSDT, by calling acpi_evaluate_integer(device, field_path, NULL, &result) ?17:46
mardyI'm asking because I see that that function is only use to invoke ACPI methods17:47

ali1234git://kernel.ubuntu.com/ appears to be down?23:02
=== yofel_ is now known as yofel
kamalali1234: yes, git://kernel.ubuntu.com/ does appear to be down.  I'll report the issue to Canonical information services.23:31
ali1234thanks23:31
ali1234since i'm here i might as well ask this question, which is the reason why i need kernel git and not just headers23:37
ali1234i'm working on a driver for logitech keyboards with built in LCD display23:38
ali1234i can build the driver out of tree OK23:38
ali1234but i need to add the USB IDs to the hid blacklist in order for my driver to work, otherwise the standard hid module takes over the device23:38
ali1234patching the hid blacklist requires rebuilding the hid.ko, which needs full kernel source23:39
ali1234so is there a way around this?23:39
ali1234i looked at using kernel bind through sysfs but i couldn't figure out how to use it with hid drivers23:40
kamalali1234: sorry, can't help you there, but ...23:42
kamalI'm happy to report that Canonical IS has fixed git://kernel.ubuntu.com/ for us23:42
ali1234there's also an easy 50 rep on stack exchange if anyone knows the answer: http://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/12005/how-to-use-linux-kernel-driver-bind-unbind-interface-for-usb-hid-devices23:42
ali1234kamal: excellent, thanks23:42
kamalali1234: glad to help23:42
