That would be surprising... but let's narrow it down, if it is something in thinkpad-acpi, then I can fix it :-) If 2.6.22 does not have the problem, it is easy to test new thinkpad-acpi: just get thinkpad-acpi 0.19 from ibm-acpi.sf.net, and patch 2.6.22.15 with it. It is *also* possible that the bug in the firmware is indeed there, and later thinkpad-acpi causes gnome to notice it because HAL decides to trust the firmware and, eg., stops looking in the NVRAM for mute button presses. We will discover if that's the case easily enough as well. > I can do more testing later to see if v0.15 displays the issue, then > can narrow down what patch broke this. Please test 0.19 from ibm-acpi.sf.net. If it causes the issues, I will work with you to track down exactly where it breaks. -- "One disk to rule them all, One disk to find them.
