Kernel 2.6?

Hello,

Is anybody using a 2.6 kernel on the tc1000? I hoped that
the (supposedly) better ACPI support provides a better
sleep/suspend mode.

I have now successfully booted my tc1000 with a 2.6.5
(vanilla) kernel on a Debian based installation - hotplug
and/or udev seem to have helped with initial problems I had
with the keyboard and trackpoint. The next step is to get the
pen working...

Unfortunately, the fpi2002 module seems incompatible with
newer kernels (I have removed the reference to "linux/wrapper.h",
which seems to be unnecessary). After compilation, insmod
tells me that the module format is invalid, and I don't know
anything about kernel programming to fix this (nor do I know
how much work it is to port this module).

I also hoped that the option "CONFIG_SERIAL_8250_ACPI" would
replace the fpi module, because the description sounds to
me as if it solves exactly the serial port's problem ("serial
port discovery via the ACPI namespace"). But it doesn't make
a difference.

Any ideas?

Regards,
Mirko
