I would very much like to assist here. I'm currently using the patch on 4.6-rc2, but I wouldn't mind testing it anywhere else it might be needed. > > On a sidenote: the feature "has_adaptive_kbd" gets set on this laptop > > (possibly all hkeyv 0x200 Thinkpads?).

I have not seen anything nasty that I suspect have anything to do with this other than errors like this: [ 1259.945126] thinkpad_acpi: Cannot read adaptive keyboard mode. and this: [ 1260.910584] thinkpad_acpi: Cannot set adaptive keyboard mode. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Find and fix application performance issues faster with Applications Manager Applications Manager provides deep performance insights into multiple tiers of your business applications.
