I have applied that fix from the bz entry to my grub.conf but have not rebooted as yet. However if this asus_atk0110.ko module is supposed to do the same job, then obviously I do not have some other, required option set in my .config's for rc6 and rc7. Directly choosing it doesn't seem to be available in a make xconfig. What am I missing?
Thanks, Stefan.
