I can assure you > that this lagging problem is really annoying! Please test and report these conditions to make sure I understood things correctly: Does it break when: 1. You loaded thinkpad-acpi, unloaded it, then tried to reproduce 2. You NEVER loaded thinkpad-acpi, then tried to reproduce 3. You did (2) above, then loaded thinkpad-acpi and tried it again, what happens? -- "One disk to rule them all, One disk to find them. One disk to bring them all and in the darkness grind them.
