Hi,

With the new Mandrake/Mandriva kernel (2.6.11), there came ibm_acpi  
support (version 0.8, though). It works fine, but I have to "echo  
enable,0xffff > /proc/acpi/ibm/hotkey" at every boot. From the  
documentation, it looks as if I could put this as a module option in  
/etc/modprobe.conf, for example, but that doesn't work. Even if I try to  
manually load the module with options:

   modprobe ibm_acpi hotkey=enable,0xffff

the message is:

   FATAL: Error inserting ibm_acpi  
(/lib/modules/2.6.11-6mdk-i686-up-4GB/kernel/drivers/acpi/ibm_acpi.ko.gz):  
No such device

But just "modprobe ibm_acpi" or "modprobe ibm_acpi experimental=1" does  
work. Any ideas? Is this a known bug for this kernel/ibm_acpi version?
