I have released version 0.17-20071002 of thinkpad-acpi through the sourceforge.net release system. Patches are available for 2.6.20, 2.6.21, 2.6.22 and 2.6.23-rc at: http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=117042&package_id=230205 git users can get it directly from tags in: git://repo.or.cz/linux-2.6/linux-acpi-2.6/ibm-acpi-2.6.git This release needs testing, and it needs testing FAST. It has two important features that could make it for 2.6.24, if I get reports of how well they work in less than a week. * Support for 16-level brightness for Lenovo thinkpads (X61, T61 *needs* this. X60 likely does so, as well. T60 appears not to, but I welcome tests, it should auto-detect). Note that this may or may not fix issues with the brightness *hot keys*, but it *really* is supposed to fix all issues with the sysfs/procfs backlight/brightness interface on the ThinkPads with 16 levels. * Revamped NVRAM polling support for hot keys. I had to redo a lot of the code, so that it plugs nicely into hotkey_mask. I have received so far *NO* reports from Thinkpads that really benefit from NVRAM polling, such as the T23 and T30 and earlier. -- "One disk to rule them all, One disk to find them.
