Hope it's useful. Yes, it is. Can you give me the output of lspci for your ThinkPad, please? Also, while we're at it, I'd appreciate if you could send me by private email the full output of acpidump, and the output of dmidecode (please mask out any serial numbers and UUIDs). > I've got two -- probably not particularly useful -- notes as well: > > 1.

On 2.6.31, that directory is not present. Probably the kernel notices it has nothing to display in there and doesn't create it. If you feel it would be useful to have the read-only parameters displayed there, I can update the module to have them show up. Note that the parameters that issue commands wouldn't be added, just the normal ones. > 2.

Well, that would be a bug somewhere else in the kernel, I think, unless I am missing declaring an owner somewhere. I will look into it. -- "One disk to rule them all, One disk to find them.
