--- Comment #1 from Alex Deucher agd5f@yahoo.com 2012-03-06 07:56:58 PST --- Please attach your xorg log and dmesg output. Unless the OEM forgot to wire up the hotplug pin, the driver shouldn't be polling. Check to make sure your desktop environment is not manually polling (gnome power manager or the kde equivalent, etc.).
