Just a note - which git repository did you use - this one - https://github.com/mkottman/acpi_call or this one - https://github.com/Bumblebee-Project/acpi_call ?

Hello Shlomi,
    Sorry for the delay, I tried to answer by mail but it did not work. I thought it would be automatically appended to comments.
    I used the first git repository (https://github.com/mkottman/acpi_cal), the other one is a fork of it and is not up-to-date any more.
    As I said the function create_proc_entry() used at line 314 doesn't exist any more (after kernel version 3.10). It has been replaced by proc_create().
    Regards,
Pascal COMBES.

thanks for the reply. I can try updating this in Cauldron first, but we may wish to wait after Mageia 4 is released and the package freeze is over. In the meanwhile, we can prepare an update for Mageia 3. What do you think?

If it's currently broken, we better fix it before mga4 release.

You can request a freeze push once you have fixed it...

good point but the problem is that, judging by the GitHub Bugtracker (see https://github.com/mkottman/acpi_call/issues ), the package won't build with kernel-3.12.x which is what Cauldron/Mga4 have.

Hello,
    As far as I'm concerned, every thing is (or at least seems so far) OK. The fix I gave in bug description does the job.
    I put it on bug tracker because I thought it should be officially fixed because other may have the same problem.
    Regards,
Pascal COMBES.

valid in mga4 too.

Closing as OLD, the dkms-acpi_call package in mga3 and mga4 was never really used nor supported. Users wanting to use it functionalities should check the upstream repo directly.

(The package was imported for bumblebee I reckon, but it was never used since it has been superseded by the dkms-bbswitch package).
