Hi, This might be a naive or silly question, but I was wondering if I could compile ibm_acpi into the kernel and use some kind of kernel_parameters to get the same results as modprobe'ing the module with "hotkey=enable,0xffff experimental=1" Is modprobe the only way to get these options? To get "experimental" features of ibm_acpi do I /need/ to compile it as a module? Thanks, Sukant
