Hi Linus,
Before 2.6.23, please pull from:
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/lenb/linux-acpi-2.6.git release
This restores some dmesg to what folks had in 2.6.22,
and prevents a possible system hang on video switching.
This will update the files shown below.
thanks!
-Len

ACPI: suspend: consolidate handling of Sx states.
Recent changes to sleep initialization in ACPI dropped reporting of supported Sx
states above S3. Fix that and also move S5 init into same file as other Sx.
The only functional change is adding printk() for S4 and S5 cases.

ACPI: video: remove dmesg spam
i am actually heavily using the ACPI video extension for my Thinkpad X61
Tablet. I have bound the input events triggered by the brightness
up/down keys to a simple
echo <value> > /sys/class/backlight/acpi_video1/brightness
but everytime the event is triggered and acpi_video_device_lcd_set_level()
is called i got a notificication in my kernel log like:
set_level status: 0
set_level status: 0
set_level status: 0
set_level status: 0
...

ACPI: video: _DOS=0 by default to prevent hotkey hang
In the past, the Linux/ACPI video driver invoked _DOS
(Display Output Switch) with the parameter 1
to tell the BIOS to switch the video output display for us.
But this conflicts with Linux native graphics drivers,
and can cause all sorts of issues, including hanging the system.
http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=6001
Here we change the Linux default to evaluate _DOS=0,
which tells the BIOS to simply send us a hotkey event
and not touch the graphics hardware.
The acpi video driver sends the display switch hotkey
event up through the intput layer, and X can interpret
that and use its native graphics driver to switch the display.
For the case where Linux has no native graphics driver running,
or the graphics driver doesn't know how to switch video and
the BIOS (safely) does, the previous behaviour can be restored with:
# echo 1 > /proc/acpi/video/*/DOS
