I don't have this one. The logs say: sony_acpi: method: name: GPID, args 0 sony_acpi: method: name: GBRT, args 0 sony_acpi: method: name: SBRT, args 1 sony_acpi: method: name: GPBR, args 0 sony_acpi: method: name: SPBR, args 1 sony_acpi: method: name: GCTR, args 0 sony_acpi: method: name: SCTR, args 1 sony_acpi: method: name: GPCR, args 0 sony_acpi: method: name: SPCR, args 1 sony_acpi: method: name: GCMI, args 1 sony_acpi: method: name: SCMI, args 1 sony_acpi: method: name: PWAK, args 0 sony_acpi: method: name: PWRN, args 0 sony_acpi: method: name: CSXB, args 1 So, let alone the ones the driver already exposes when loaded with debug=1, I have: GPID, GPCR/SPCR, PWAK and PWRN. A few random comments: * GPID could be "get product id"? * I'll give a try to GPCR/SPCR, seems to be another get/set pair. * Isn't is strange that GCMI takes one argument? * CSXB is obviously not part of a standard get/set pair, which might (somewhat) explain why it crashed my system the other day. I'll report if I can find more.
