No. Please try: modprobe thinkpad_acpi echo 0xfb88c0 > /sys/devices/platform/thinkpad_acpi/hotkey_source_mask test the hotkeys. Please test several of them, as not all of them are available through NVRAM polling... at least Fn+SPACE, Fn+F1..FN+F12 Please test the brightness keys. In the T43 we use "direct EC mode", which depends on the NVRAM to sync with the SMBIOS firmware. to reset the driver to normal mode, it is enough to do this: echo 0 > /sys/devices/platform/thinkpad_acpi/hotkey_source_mask -- "One disk to rule them all, One disk to find them.
