I have released version 0.18-20071013 of thinkpad-acpi through the sourceforge.net release system. Patches are available for 2.6.20, 2.6.21, 2.6.22, 2.6.23 and 2.6.24-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 should make things better for *61 owners, but do note that you need to use either the standard ACPI video module for backlight control (in which case you might need a *very* up-to-date video.c), or you need to tell thinkpad-acpi that you want its legacy interface. Read the docs. It also provides sysfs select()/poll() support for some attributes, notably the state of the radio rf-kill switch of the new ThinkPads. May I remind the prospective users of this to: 1. use a proper timeout in poll()/select(), to not hang forever in an older thinkpad-acpi, but also not to wake up too often for no good reason. 2. It is thinkpad-acpi specific. If your application is not thinkpad-acpi specific, DO NOT USE IT. And it fixes some heavily embarassing crap in the way the NVRAM polling patch dealt with hotkey_mask. I don't think anyone is really using this, but since it is queued for 2.6.25, might as well make it as non-schizophrenic as I can :-) Please test, I'd like to send these changes upstream for 2.6.25 soon. -- "One disk to rule them all, One disk to find them.
