Hi Mikkel,
Thanks for the post. I have check this before compiling the driver. In first press button - no harm
, working fine. But if press it again, laptop get freeze; and trigger a kernel panic. here is the
info i get.
Code: Bad EIP Value.
EIP: [<7f7e7dc4>] 0x7f7fe7dc4 SS:ESP 0068:f7c7aca4
Kernel Panic - not syncing: Attempted to kill the idle task!
I have no issue when scpi=off, non-intel driver.
I can't use any other driver because wide-screen is not supporting
Please advice..
Thanks and regards
