Subject: Re: [PATCH] x86: EuroBraille/Iris power off

Hi,

> What version of Microsoft Windows ships on this box?

It's Windows CE but I can't give a more precise version number.

> Does it run in ACPI mode?

I don't know and I don't think it would be possible to determine it,
since one just has access to a dedicated application and not to the
interface of the operating system itself.

> Does it power-off successfully?

Yes, and most probably the same way the proposed module does.

> Does Linux run in ACPI mode?

I don't think so.

> Please send along the dmesg from a Linux kernel built with:
> 
> CONFIG_ACPI=y
> CONFIG_ACPI_DEBUG=y

It's attached.

Thanks,
Shérab.
