What else can I It might not be entirely safe because there are other bugs in the module. Please try the very latest release in the git tree (sorry, I haven't had the time to generate a bunch of diffs to upload to sf.net, their !@#$!@#%@$#$@# web-happy slow piece of crap of an interface gets in the way). Even if you get the latest release, make *sure* that TPACPI_HANDLE(vid) has been updated to the correct DSDT path for your thinkpad, as I haven't fixed that one yet and it can do _very_ stupid things (nothing unsafe, but it won't work right) if it doesn't find the vid handle. The latest versions are *always* available at: http://repo.or.cz/w/linux-2.6/linux-acpi-2.6/ibm-acpi-2.6.git Just look at the "release/*" heads, or the <kernel version>+thinkpad-acpi-* tags. I understand it is a bit troublesome to learn git to use that, so if you don't want to bother, I am going to try to release 20100516 in sf.net very soon. The "easy to use" diffs are available at: http://sourceforge.net/projects/ibm-acpi/ but I often release stuff in git and not in sf.net when I am very short on time :( -- "One disk to rule them all, One disk to find them.
