It will take a while. My .git directory is 7G, and I'd like to do a
backup before playing with git.

git gc does not exist here, so I guess I need to update git, too :-(.

Hmm, it gets weirder. 2.6.25-rc5 was fast, and had small problem with
backlight hotkeys did not work.

2.6.25-rc6 has backlight hotkeys somehow working, but closing/opening lid in X
kills the backlight, making machine unusable.

Hmm...

    ACPI: Ignore _BQC object when registering backlight device

    According to acpi spec , the objects of  _BCL and _BCM are
required if
    integrated LCD is present and supports brightness level .The _BQC
is
    the optional object. So the _BQC object is ignored when the
backlight device
    is registered in ACPI video driver.

when did this go in? Pretty recently, right? And that means that ACPI
backlight driver is now used on machines where it was not used
before...?
