I have to look into the code, it was contributed by someone who had access to the proper hardware to test it. But the way *I* would like it to work is this: 1. When implemented in *hardware* or *EC*, let the hardware and EC take full control, and never allow the operating system to mess with it. So, it becomes much harder for that LED to "lie". 2. Otherwise implement it in-kernel, so that userspace cannot unmute when the human has activated the "mute" switch, and the LED cannot be controlled by userspace to lie (report mute when it is not mute). It might, or might not be possible to achieve the above. > > With thinkpad_acpi.ko unloaded, hardware drives the LEDs, so nothing > > for us to do... > > So somehow tell thinkpad_acpi.ko to let hardware control those LEDs when > thinkpad_acpi.ko is loaded? I.e. look into the DSDT and XSDT, to find out what it is doing. It will be there: it is very rare for the thinkpad EC itself to implement these behavior changes. -- Henrique Holschuh ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Check out the vibrant tech community on one of the world's most engaging tech sites, Slashdot.org! http://sdm.link/slashdot _______________________________________________ ibm-acpi-devel mailing list ibm-acpi-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/ibm-acpi-devel
