Hi, I have a backport 2.6.27.x custom kernel installed on my 11.0 system, running KDE 4.3. I've noticed that the Thinkpad (mine's R61/R61i) brightness control does not work through the keypad. I can change it through the Powerdevil battery manager. I have the right options put in for brightness control in /etc/modprobe.d/thinkpad_acpi. The dmesg output for thinkpad_acpi is :- thinkpad_acpi: ThinkPad ACPI Extras v0.21 thinkpad_acpi: http://ibm-acpi.sf.net/ thinkpad_acpi: ThinkPad BIOS 7OET24WW (1.03 ), EC 7KHT22WW-1.06 thinkpad_acpi: Lenovo ThinkPad R61/R61i, model 8937A13 thinkpad_acpi: radio switch found; radios are enabled thinkpad_acpi: This ThinkPad has standard ACPI backlight brightness control, supported by the ACPI video driver thinkpad_acpi: Disabling thinkpad-acpi brightness events by default... thinkpad_acpi: setting the hotkey mask to 0x00ffffff is likely not the best way to go about it thinkpad_acpi: please consider using the driver defaults, and refer to up-to-date thinkpad-acpi documentation Registered led device: tpacpi::thinklight Registered led device: tpacpi::power Registered led device: tpacpi:orange:batt Registered led device: tpacpi:green:batt Registered led device: tpacpi::dock_active Registered led device: tpacpi::bay_active Registered led device: tpacpi::dock_batt Registered led device: tpacpi::unknown_led Registered led device: tpacpi::standby anshul@sagarika:~> cat /etc/modprobe.d/thinkpad_acpi # # IBM ACPI driver options # # A detailed description of the parameters for the IBM ACPI driver can be found # in /usr/src/linux/Documentation/ibm-acpi.txt which is part of the package # 'kernel-source'. # # If you encounter problems with the hotkey mask please file a bug on # http://bugzilla.novell.com/ # options thinkpad_acpi brightness_enable=1 experimental=1 hotkey=enable,0xffffff anshul@sagarika:~> Any suggestions?:) -Anshul -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kernel+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-kernel+help@opensuse.org
