[ltp] is ibm_acpi broken in SUSE 10?

Hei Torklid,

thanks for your reply,

Did about the same, only that i do not load the thinkpad modules. 
Doesn't do anything.

BTW: I found that you do not manually need to load ibm_acpi because 
/etc/rc.d/acpi automatically probes for extended laptop support modules 
(if it didn't before). Once it found a suitable one it writes it to a 
file in /var/lib somewhere (i think /var/lib/acpi/modules or so) and 
hence doesn't probe anymore. It correctly determines to use ibm_apci on 
my TransNote.

Yepp, also did that. This solved the access rights problem, and tpb 
doesn't complain about them anymore, but still it doesn't get the 
keystrokes - or as described only very rarely.

Still don't get any further.

André.
