Also not matlock(not the T.V. show). Now onto the status: I think
there might be something going on with this patch, or the module
itself I keep getting ACPI EC: GPE storm
detected(http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=10724) , yesterday
I modified drivers/acpi/ec.c and was not receiving this message the
rest of the day, after applying the patch to isight_firmware and
loading, I'm receiving this message probably within 20 minutes of
being up. Now I'm not sure If it's because I modified ec.c, or not
that's causing this. I'll have to run a couple of experiments to see.
has anybody seen the same message?
regards;
