I have released version 0.23-20090920 of thinkpad-acpi through the sourceforge.net release system. Patches are available for 2.6.27, 2.6.28, 2.6.29, 2.6.30 and 2.6.31 at: https://sourceforge.net/projects/ibm-acpi/files/thinkpad-acpi/0.23-20090920/ (support for 2.6.28 and 2.6.29 will be discontinued soon). 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 has a lot of bug fixes (especially if you also take into account the changes from release 0.23-20090801, which I forgot to announce here). The hotkey subdriver has seen extensive changes, and should behave better on the older ThinkPads that needs polling and also when ACPI-video is disabled. I'd really like people to test and report how well it works, these changes have already been submitted for kernel 2.6.32. BTW: help is appreciated to verify if the driver is getting the brightness mode right on the various IBM thinkpads. The driver will log a notice asking for a report in that case.
