As to the brightness issue, I still do not get any output when I press the brightness buttons in /dev/input/event10, while I do get output on things like Fn-Space. I enabled the thinkpad_acpi debug options, but that does not seem to make any difference either. On my T60 where the acpi video driver handles the backlight I do get OSD without needing tpb, but on the T41 where it is handled by thinkpad_acpi, I do not. thinkpad_acpi does report the correct status in sysfs, so this is just a reporting issue, but I thought this was supposed to be fixed with the latest update to thinkpad_acpi? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Verizon Developer Community Take advantage of Verizon's best-in-class app development support A streamlined, 14 day to market process makes app distribution fast and easy Join now and get one step closer to millions of Verizon customers http://p.sf.net/sfu/verizon-dev2dev _______________________________________________ ibm-acpi-devel mailing list ibm-acpi-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/ibm-acpi-devel
