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... Does acpi_backlight=vendor boot param help? This should change these lines in thinkpad_acpi output and let the thinkpad driver try to handle brightness instead of video.ko.
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
