I have released version 0.19-20080213 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 Note: 2.6.20 and 2.6.21 support will be discontinued soon. This is a test release for a few Lenovo *60/*61-related functionalities, with some minor bug-fixes. In particular, I may have broken the brightness control detection on 16-brightness-levels thinkpads. Please report it so that I can fix it ASAP. With this version, thinkpad-acpi will place Lenovo BIOSes in ACPI backlight mode, which means you will always get the brightness up/down events through ACPI, without needing to load ACPI video.c. X41t, X60t and X61t owners: please report if there are any problems with the new tablet/normal mode attribute and events. Note that the acpi events for tablet mode are now deprecated (available only on /proc/acpi/event), since they have been ported over to the input device. I really would like to get these changes into 2.6.25, but for that I need some testing done fast, otherwise I won't be able to merge them. Changes: ACPI: thinkpad-acpi: always track input device open/close ACPI: thinkpad-acpi: synchronize input device switches ACPI: thinkpad-acpi: switch Lenovo BIOS to ACPI backlight mode ACPI: thinkpad-acpi: make the video output feature optional ACPI: thinkpad-acpi: issue input events for tablet swivel events ACPI: thinkpad-acpi: improve thinkpad-acpi input device documentation ACPI: thinkpad-acpi: minor hotkey_radio_sw fixes ACPI: thinkpad-acpi: add tablet-mode reporting -- "One disk to rule them all, One disk to find them.
