My current plan is to switch in 2.6.20 to automatic probing of more pins for the timer routing (suggested by Tim Hockin, I've got a test patch). But that's too risky for .19. For 2.6.19 we'll likely add some more PCI-IDs disabling the quirk and a command line option to disable the skip timer override quirk. Doing this per PCI ID isn't that bad because afaik Vista certification requires enabling the HPET table and I assume most boards will get Vista certification soon. This will force Asus to fix their BIOS. Can people who use a Nvidia based AM2/SocketF board (especially when they have timer troubles but otherwise would be useful too) please report their lspcis in private mail to me? -Andi - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@...r.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
