Hi, The kernel module found in app-laptop/ibm-acpi has been included in the vanilla kernel since linux-2.6.10. There has been no releases of the stand-alone module since March 2005. Unless somebody has a really good reason as to why we should keep the external module in portage I will package.mask it in a week from now and remove it from portage 30 days later.
