Hi, I found this is dmesg: thinkpad_acpi: ThinkPad ACPI Extras v0.23 thinkpad_acpi: http://ibm-acpi.sf.net/ thinkpad_acpi: ThinkPad BIOS 1WET90WW (2.10 ), EC 1VHT28WW-1.04 thinkpad_acpi: IBM ThinkPad R50e, model 1834S5G Registered led device: tpacpi::thinklight Registered led device: tpacpi::power Registered led device: tpacpi::standby thinkpad_acpi: brightness: will use unverified default: brightness_mode=2 thinkpad_acpi: brightness: please report to ibm-acpi-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx whether it works well or not on your ThinkPad Actually, this is the only mode that does NOT work; both 1 and 3 work instead. Hope it's useful. I've got two -- probably not particularly useful -- notes as well: 1. The thinkpad_acpi module has lots of parameters, but no /sys/modules/thinkpad_acpi/parameters directory. Even if no parameters are changeable in runtime, this is unusual. 2. While removing and reloading the module trying the different modes, I managed to reach the state that the /proc/acpi/ibm directory is created, but left empty by the module. I'm unable to reproduce it now, but it wasn't the first time, I also got here a couple of months ago playing with the module. Then I postponed sending in this report for this reason: I hate such things. :) Maybe my PWD was /proc/acpi/ibm when I (tried to) remove the module, maybe not... -- Thanks, Feri. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Let Crystal Reports handle the reporting - Free Crystal Reports 2008 30-Day trial.
