It might be a good idea to Cc linux-thinkpad@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx when asking such questions, as it will reach a lot of thinkpad power users that run Linux. I know a number of people subscribe to both linux-acpi and linux-thinkpad (including me), so there is some cross-polination, but still... The *60 thinkpad owners have had a few bad months lately, as they are either hitting Lenovo bugs, or Lenovo is uncovering kernel bugs. E.g. the ACPI video for 2.6.19 (the one with fubar constants for the ACPI video events) and earlier will "have issues" with the newer thinkpad BIOSes and hang many thinkpads if you try to increase brightness (the buggy version of video.c will instead try to switch output ports, which doesn't work easily on all thinkpads, and hardlock a running X server). This is fixed in 2.6.20-rc. OTOH, there are reports that the new BIOSes have removed functionality from the DSDT that allowed multiple cores to work in different clock speeds, so people may have overlooked the bug Ingo worked around... If you'd like, I can try to act as a liason between linux-acpi and linux-thinkpad, and ask your question there. -- "One disk to rule them all, One disk to find them.
