Re: [PATCH] Re: Linux 2.5.57, i8k driver versions..

From: James H. Cloos Jr. (cloos@jhcloos.com)
Date: Wed Jan 15 2003 - 16:44:38 EST


The i8k.c upgrade included code that is not required in 2.5. The
patch below eliminates the unnecessary stuff, leaving the one new
feature that is useful: the option to restrict fan control to
processes with CAP_SYS_ADMIN set.

ChangeSet@1.921, 2003-01-15 16:24:02-05:00, cloos@jhcloos.com
  The input system in 2.5 is able to see the volume keys on inspiron
  notebooks w/o help from i8k.c. This patch therefore removes the
  new code from i8kutils-1.17 for feeding those keypresses to the
  keyboard driver.

  This leaves only MODULE_PARM(restricted, "i") as the useful addition
  to what was in 2.5.58's i8k.c. This module parm restricts control of
  the system fans to processes with CAP_SYS_ADMIN set.
