Hello. As I tried to get all my notebooks acpi-capabilities working I consulted the kernels documentation of the 'thinkpad-acpi'-kernel-module, which asks me to report to this mailinglist if I need the 'force_load=1' module-parameter to load it. I am using Gentoo Linux with kernel 2.6.32-gentoo-r7 (sys-kernel/gentoo-sources, not vanilla) on an Lenovo ThinkPad T510 (NTH4JGE). I dont know if it matters, but here is the output of lspci: 00:00.0 Host bridge: Intel Corporation Core Processor DRAM Controller (rev 02) 00:01.0 PCI bridge: Intel Corporation Core Processor PCI Express x16 Root Port (rev 02) 00:16.0 Communication controller: Intel Corporation 5 Series/3400 Series Chipset HECI Controller (rev 06) 00:16.3 Serial controller: Intel Corporation 5 Series/3400 Series Chipset KT Controller (rev 06) 00:19.0 Ethernet controller: Intel Corporation 82577LM Gigabit Network Connection (rev 06) 00:1a.0 USB Controller: Intel Corporation 5 Series/3400 Series Chipset USB2 Enhanced Host Controller (rev 06) 00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation 5 Series/3400 Series Chipset High Definition Audio (rev 06) 00:1c.0 PCI bridge: Intel Corporation 5 Series/3400 Series Chipset PCI Express Root Port 1 (rev 06) 00:1c.1 PCI bridge: Intel Corporation 5 Series/3400 Series Chipset PCI Express Root Port 2 (rev 06) 00:1c.3 PCI bridge: Intel Corporation 5 Series/3400 Series Chipset PCI Express Root Port 4 (rev 06) 00:1c.4 PCI bridge: Intel Corporation 5 Series/3400 Series Chipset PCI Express Root Port 5 (rev 06) 00:1d.0 USB Controller: Intel Corporation 5 Series/3400 Series Chipset USB2 Enhanced Host Controller (rev 06) 00:1e.0 PCI bridge: Intel Corporation 82801 Mobile PCI Bridge (rev a6) 00:1f.0 ISA bridge: Intel Corporation Mobile 5 Series Chipset LPC Interface Controller (rev 06) 00:1f.2 SATA controller: Intel Corporation 5 Series/3400 Series Chipset 6 port SATA AHCI Controller (rev 06) 00:1f.3 SMBus: Intel Corporation 5 Series/3400 Series Chipset SMBus Controller (rev 06) 00:1f.6 Signal processing controller: Intel Corporation 5 Series/3400 Series Chipset Thermal Subsystem (rev 06) 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation NVIDIA NVS 3100M (rev a2) 01:00.1 Audio device: nVidia Corporation High Definition Audio Controller (rev a1) 03:00.0 Network controller: Intel Corporation WiFi Link 6000 Series (rev 35) 0d:00.0 SD Host controller: Ricoh Co Ltd Device e822 (rev 01) 0d:00.1 System peripheral: Ricoh Co Ltd Device e230 (rev 01) 0d:00.3 FireWire (IEEE 1394): Ricoh Co Ltd Device e832 (rev 01) ff:00.0 Host bridge: Intel Corporation Core Processor QuickPath Architecture Generic Non-core Registers (rev 02) ff:00.1 Host bridge: Intel Corporation Core Processor QuickPath Architecture System Address Decoder (rev 02) ff:02.0 Host bridge: Intel Corporation Core Processor QPI Link 0 (rev 02) ff:02.1 Host bridge: Intel Corporation Core Processor QPI Physical 0 (rev 02) ff:02.2 Host bridge: Intel Corporation Core Processor Reserved (rev 02) ff:02.3 Host bridge: Intel Corporation Core Processor Reserved (rev 02) The module-dmesg-output: [ 1743.983441] thinkpad_acpi: ThinkPad ACPI Extras v0.23 [ 1743.983444] thinkpad_acpi: http://ibm-acpi.sf.net/ [ 1743.983445] thinkpad_acpi: ThinkPad BIOS unknown, EC unknown [ 1743.983753] thinkpad_acpi: radio switch found; radios are enabled [ 1743.983838] thinkpad_acpi: This ThinkPad has standard ACPI backlight brightness control, supported by the ACPI video driver [ 1743.983841] thinkpad_acpi: Disabling thinkpad-acpi brightness events by default...
