When I updated, I knew about changes in 3.2 that affected USB keyboard |
| 19 |
wake in suspend (& mostly how it deals with acpi. Most of the stuff |
| 20 |
moved to /sys/devices, the normal /proc/acpi/wakeup didn't really do |
| 21 |
anything.) This affected many users over many distros. |
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
It also changed how lirc works, although that happened around 2.6.38??, |
| 24 |
so my htpc frontend is still on 2.6.32. When I tried updating that |
| 25 |
machine to 3.0, nothing worked and I spent about a day troubleshooting |
| 26 |
it before I put the image I took of it before I upgraded it back on. |
